The Harmonized National Research and Development (R&D) Agenda

“THE HARMONIZED
NATIONAL RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT
(R&D) AGENDA”
*The Harmonized National Research and
Development Agenda or (HNRDA)
- is prepared by the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST) to
provide innovative solutions that benefit
Filipinos, particularly the poor, through a
problem-focused approach to multi-
disciplinary and multi-institutional
research and development (R&D)
collaboration.
*The following are those priorities of
Research and Development (R&D) :
1) Agriculture
2) Electronics
3) Energy
4) Environment and Natural Resources
5) Disaster Mitigation and
Management
6) Health
*The following are those priorities
of Research and Development
(R&D) :
7) Manufacturing and Production
8) Information and
communications technology
9) Biotechnology
10) Nanotechnology.
THE HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) AGENDA
- is an outcome-based agenda where all R&D
programs and projects to be funded by the
government. (3) Key Results Areas (KRA)
particularly responding to:
1. poverty reduction and empowerment of the
poor and vulnerable;
2. rapid and inclusive, and sustained economic
growth; and
3. integrity of the environment and climate
change adaptation and mitigation,
*Substantiating the National Science
and Technology Plan (NSTP)
2002-2020
The HNRDA updates and substantiates
the NSTP 2002-2020
-which has served as an indicative
plan setting forth broadly the visions,
goals, strategies, and R&D priority
areas.
• The NSTP has provided the
policy framework and
directions for science and
technology (S&T) efforts in
the Philippines over the
period 2002-2020.
• It is focused on attaining two
general outcomes:
1. Expanded and strengthened
socio-economic development
programs for all, particularly the
poor, vulnerable and marginalized
through science, technology and
innovation.
R&D Priority Area Expected Outcome
1. Food and Nutrition Security Quality, safe and affordable food for all, at
all times
2. Countryside Development More farmers, fisherfolks and MSMEs
developing and producing competitive and
world class products and services
3. Competitive Industries More industries enabled by state-of the art
R&D facilities, technologies and science-
based policies, moving up the value chain
and attracting foreign direct investments
4. Social Services Delivery Innovative, accessible, affordable
and efficient social services for all
5. Biodiversity Conservation and Science-based management of aquatic and

Sustainable Development terrestrial ecosystems for sustainable
resource development and utilization
Competitive Philippine companies capable
1.Semiconductor and of undertaking R&D, and designing and
Electronics producing quality products for local and
global market; Innovation-friendly business
environment capable of attracting foreign
direct investments
A global leader in healthcare capable of
2. Healthcare sustainably devel-oping products from the
country’s rich biodiversity and offering
services that contribute to achieving
universal healthcare
World class and highly productive
3. Agriculture agriculture enabled by science-based
know-how and tools
4. Mining and Minerals Processing

Sustainable mining and minerals
processing industry producing high
value products through green
technologies, responsible practices
and science based policies
5. Metals and Engineering Globally competitive metals and
engineering industry capable of
producing innovative and quality
products for the local and export
markets
• It is focused on attaining two
general outcomes:
2. Safe and disaster/climate change
-resilient infrastructure and
communities empowered by science-based
meteorological, hydrological and geological
information, climate change scenarios with
associated impact assessments, and
decision support systems.
1. Innovations in Weather and Timely delivery of accurate weather-related
information, flood forecasts and climate
Flood Forecasting and Climate projection and services; Improved climate
Change Modeling change impact scenarios; Accurately
predicted and simulated disaster-causing
phenomena; and, Empowered partners to
lead in reducing risks from weather-related
hazards down to community level
2. Water Security Water resource assessment and
management
Water security through science-based
technologies and policies for water resource
assessment, conservation, and
management in the light of climate change
3. Climate change resilient agriculture

Adaptive and resilient agri-aqua
ecosystems through innovative
and green technologies and
science-based policies
4. Climate Change Mitigation Reduced greenhouse gas
emissions and decreased carbon
footprint through innovative and
green technologies, and science-
based policies
• THE NATIONAL S&T INFRASTRUCTURE
- In order to implement the Harmonized
National R&D Agenda, there is a need to
establish a National S&T Infrastructure
consisting of critical and strategic
technologies and cutting-edge facilities
that are responsive to the current and
future socio-economic development
challenges of the country.
• Critical and Strategic Technologies
1. Remote Sensing Technology
- the use of satellite and/or
aircraft for acquiring geospatial and
temporal information about an object
or phenomenon, without making
physical contact with the object.
2.Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)

- a remote-sensing technique that
uses lasers to measure distances to
reflective surfaces and produce fine
scale elevation and surface data.
3. Biotechnology
– any technology application that uses
biological systems, living organisms, or
derivatives thereof, to make or modify
products or processes for specific uses. It is
an enabling technology in developing new
products and processes useful for human
and animal health as well as strengthening
the sustainable.
4.Nanotechnology
- an enabling technology that designs
and controls matter at nano level or
molecular level in order to create new
materials with varied profiles for application
in food and agriculture; energy; industrial
materials; health and diagnostics; and
electronics.
• Cutting-edge Facilities
1. LiDAR Facility
- Established at selected Higher
Education Institutions in the country with
state-of-the-art processing software and
equipment with highly competent
manpower that offers customized service
and products for every Filipino.
2. Philippine Genome Center
- a core facility for DNA sequencing and
bioinformatics is built at the University of the
Philippines Diliman (UPD). It is envisioned to be a
world-class center of excellence in gene discovery
and genomics research that effectively translate
knowledge in genomics into applications beneficial
to the Filipino people and to humanity as a whole.
3. Solar Cell Characterization Facility
- It is located at UP Diliman, equipped
with a special lamp that simulates the light
output of the sun, the facility is used to
compare the performance of locally
fabricated solar cells with those developed
by overseas research institutes and
commercially sold locally.
