For the workshop proper, the first workshop focused on identifying research topics, as well as the rationale and significance of the selected topics. The second workshop was dedicated to the creation of the conceptual framework and the formulation of research objectives. During the third workshop, participants worked on defining their research design, methodology, work plan, and outputs based on the DOST 6Ps and their intended beneficiaries.
After the training workshop, participants were encouraged to submit their final capsule proposals. They are given until October 20, 2021 to submit their proposals. They were informed about the schedule of the RMC shortlisting which is October 25, 2021 and the Research Proposal Enhancement Workshop in November 2021.
