Fabula of the Crops and Resources Research and Development Center (CRRDC), will serve as the project leader of the approved research titled “Catalysts of Change: Impact Assessment of DOST-PCIEERD’s Young Innovators Program (YIP) for Scientific Advancement and National Development.” The project, which will run from Janto December 2026, aims to evaluate the long-term impacts of the Young Innovators Program, a flagship initiative that supports young Filipino researchers in science, technology, and innovation. The findings will contribute to enhancing initiatives designed to nurture the country’s future innovators. A diverse team of faculty researchers, including Maria Celia M. Fernando, Jairus Jesse M. Tubal, Herald Kam G. Hernando, and Dr. Maria Excelsis M. Orden will be part of the said project. The MOA signing event was attended by DOST-PCIEERD officials and agency heads from various partner institutions. It also featured technical discussions on the commercialization of research and development through the Innovate PINAS program, as well as the launch of international partnerships with Spanish research agencies. Dr. Fabula was accompanied by Dr. Jonathan V. Fabula, who represented the university president, Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, during the said event. This involvement underscores CLSU’s commitment to research excellence and its essential role in fostering a strong and inclusive science and technology ecosystem for national development.
