Technology Adoption and Commercialization
As the DOST agency responsible for coordinating and monitoring health researches in the country, the Council facilitates the identification and packaging of PCHRD-supported health technologies for adoption and commercialization by both government and private sectors. We accelerate technology adoption by guiding researchers and investors as they go through each step of the idea generation to utilization.
PCHRD helps both inventors and investors in the Intellectual Property (IP) commercialization process. Based on the Technology Transfer Act of 2009 (RA 10055), PCHRD’s role as funding agency becomes a facilitator instead of a licensor. The technologies are owned by the implementing agencies (RDIs) and their respective commercialization (licensing, establishment of spin-off companies) are negotiated by their own Technology Licensing Office. However, PCHRD can still assist potential investors and the RDIs in the commercialization process.

Research Translation – Policy
Recognizing the value of health researches in building a healthier nation, PCHRD supports translation of research to policy. Proposals submitted to PCHRD for research translation are processed and evaluated. After the proposal receives an approval, PCHRD can provide financial support so the proponents can proceed with policy note brief development. PCHRD can also help the proponents find research experts with substantial background in policy development to draft the policy note/brief for them.
Approved policy notes / briefs are published for submission to policymakers.
Throughout the years, PCHRD ensures that research is utilized for evidence-based and informed policy making. In 2018, the Council provided important inputs for the following bills, policies, and law:· House Bill 3310, 4630, 5810, 7122, 7153, and 7426, “An Act Establishing the Philippine eHealth System and Services in the Delivery of Health Services with the Use of Information and Communications Technology in the Philippines
