The Eastern Visayas Health Research and Development Consortium (EVHRDC) conducted a Research Proposal Enhancement Workshop on 8-9 July 2021 via Zoom.
During the two-day workshop, researchers were partnered with a mentor who helped enhance their proposals. Other mentors assigned on the overall methods and statistical aspects of the proposals moved from one breakout room to another providing one-on-one coaching and mentoring.
Day 1 of the workshop focused on the review and refinement of the statement of the research question or problem, objectives of the study, significance of the study, and review of related literature; while day 2 focused on the conceptual framework, methodology, limitations of the study and LIB.
The enhanced proposals were presented by the researchers after the workshop. They were:
- Factors Affecting Low Hemoglobin Deferral Among Voluntary Blood Donors of a Government Tertiary Hospital Blood Bank;
- Establishment of a Monitoring System Using Service Delivery Network (SDN For Postpartum Mothers With Hypertensive Disorders;
- A Father’s Relational Presence in Young Adult Filipino Psychiatric Patients in a Tertiary Hospital in Eastern Visayas, Philippines; and
- Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Palliative Care Among Primary Care Providers
The activity was initiated to provide researchers with a one-on-one mentoring and coaching session with Basic Research Methods trainers to guide them in developing full-blown proposals following the standard Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) format so they can later be funded by the Consortium.
