Tacloban City – The Eastern Visayas Health Research and Development Consortium (EVHRDC) officially turned over research funds and conducted a grant orientation meeting for two newly-approved Participatory Action Research (PAR) projects on May 7, 2025, at the Ordex Studio, Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) Main Campus.
The approved projects are “Level of ICT Competency among Healthcare Providers in Health Districts of Ormoc City” by Dr. Jereco Jims Agapito and“Extent of Implementation of Basic First Aid and Health Emergency Rescue Initiative to Selected Far-flung Barangays of Ormoc City” by Mr. Joseph T. Gudelos. Both researchers are faculty members from EVSU-Ormoc Campus.
These projects aim to generate data that will support the development of health-related policies by local leaders. By promoting research-based planning and decisions, the projects contribute to EVHRDC’s goal of making health research relevant to the communities involved.
Building on this momentum, EVHRDC invites researchers working on Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) to submit their proposals for funding consideration. The Call for Proposals is now open and will run until May 16, 2025. This is an opportunity to develop community-driven solutions and help shape evidence-based health policies in the region.
