CCARPH hosted its first online Policy Paper Writeshop last May 12, 2020. The session was led by Ms. Jessica Dator-Bercilla[1] (co-Proponent and Principal Investigator of CCARPH and faculty at the University of the Philippines – Visayas) as she presented on the need for policy research. Her lecture included topics on engaging in policy research & advocacy, creating an evidence-based policy brief, and encouraging the production of scientific briefs that can be presented to policy makers.
Dr. Emma Porio[2] (Project Leader and Principal Investigator of CCARPH) gave the opening remarks, reminding that the event provides support to the research teams and promotes the project’s goal of producing actionable science. The writeshop session was attended by CCARPH co-Principal Investigator, Ms. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga[3], together with research scientists from each work package.
A second writeshop session is being planned for the MDRR students, in line with producing a brief on policy implications of their capstone projects[4].
