With the goal of finalizing the NVSU Student Research Manual and harmonizing the guidelines, forms, formats, and process flows for undergraduate theses across the university, a two-day workshop is being conducted at Nueva Vizcaya State University – Bambang Campus.

The workshop gathers the Technical Working Group, composed of faculty representatives from the university’s 12 colleges, working collaboratively to streamline research requirements and ensure consistency across academic programs.

On Day 1, Dr. Arlene L. Tabaquero, the invited resource person, shared practical tips and insights to guide the enhancement and organization of the manual. Dr. Lori Shayne A. Busa, Director for Research and Development, leads the workshop and highlights the importance of ensuring that, as much as possible, all colleges follow harmonized guidelines, templates, and processes to provide students with clear and consistent support throughout their research journey.

Once finalized, the manual will be submitted for approval by the Board of Regents. It is envisioned to be implemented soon and serve as a helpful reference for students conducting their undergraduate theses.

Representatives from various government agencies including the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), Department of Agriculture – NVES, Municipal and Provincial Local Government Units (MLGU and PLGU), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), actively participated in the Stakeholders' Consultation for the Finalization of the Institutional Research Ethics Board (IREB) and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) Manual and Guidelines.

The program commenced with messages from Dr. Jonar I. Yago, Vice President for Research, Extension, and Training, and Dr. Lori Shayne A. Busa, Director for Research and Development. Both emphasized the value of working together to create guidelines that are practical and suited to real research situations in the university and communities.

University President Dr. Wilfredo A. Dumale, Jr. expressed his support for the initiative through an inspirational message. He sincerely thanked the participating agencies not only for joining the consultation but, more importantly, for their continued support to the university’s research and development efforts.

The consultation highlighted the presentation of the IREB Manual by Dr. Rodney A. Cajimat, Chair of the Institutional Research Ethics Board, and the IACUC Manual by Dr. Jessica M. Cadoy, Chair of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Through open discussion and feedback sessions, external stakeholders offered insights to help ensure that the manuals are aligned with the legal, ethical, and operational frameworks of their respective agencies. Their contributions are significant in guiding researchers, especially those working with communities, indigenous peoples, and plant and animal subjects to conduct their studies in a more responsible and respectful manner.

The program concluded with closing remarks from Dr. Elma G. Apostol, Vice President for Academic Affairs, who highlighted that working together with partner agencies is important for the university to strengthen its research ethics.

NVSU extends its heartfelt appreciation to all external stakeholders for their active participation and meaningful contributions to this important initiative.

This activity aimed to gather suggestions to improve the draft manual, which serves as a guide for ensuring that all research activities at the university are done responsibly and ethically.

The IREB manual focuses on protecting the rights, safety, and well-being of people who participate in research, while the IACUC manual ensures the proper care and humane treatment of animals used in research. These guidelines are important in promoting safe, ethical, and high-quality research across all disciplines.

Through the consultation, participants gave practical suggestions to make the manual easier to understand and apply—especially for students and faculty engaged in research.

The R&D Office expressed its gratitude to everyone who joined the activity.
