BAR meets assistance program grantees target
for 1st quarter
by Thea Kristina Pabuayon
Only two months into the year, BAR already
has five and six grantees under its degree and non-degree
scholarship programs, respectively. Based on the degree
scholarship target of 20-grantee per annum, this translates
to a 100% accomplishment for the first quarter of 2001.
On the other hand, the non-degree assistance program
grantee target of one institution per year also exceeded
its target, with two different institutions getting
two grants each.
Under the Degree Scholarship Program,
five recipients from the University of Eastern Philippines,
Benguet State University, University of Southern Philippines,
University of Southern Mindanao and the Fiber Industry
Development Authority received a total of P430,743 in
thesis/dissertation allowance. All grantees are enrolled
at either UP Diliman or UP Los Baños pursuing
Masteral (two) and Doctorate (three) degrees in agriculture
and fisheries related courses. Three non-degree grantees
from DA-RFU XI, Bureau of Plant Industry, and Central
Luzon State University will be supported to attend international
conferences in Vietnam and Israel. The remaining three
grantees from DA-BAR, UP Diliman Institute of Molecular
Biology and Biotechnology, and De La Salle University
will be supported to act as resource persons to a conference
in Iloilo.
The scholarship program was developed
by the DA-BAR to create a pool of highly competent researchers
and technical staff significant to make the R&D
system effective and efficient. The program gives financial
support as tuition fees, maintenance allowance, book
and supplies allowance, thesis dissertation allowance,
and retention salary to R&D employees pursuing studies
in crop science, animal science, veterinary medicine,
fisheries, social science, farm resources, and computer
science.
Meanwhile, the Non-Degree Assistance Program
provides funding support for participation of interested
R&D personnel to both local and international short-term
trainings, conferences, symposia and seminars. The support
covers the registration fee or round-trip economy class
airfare for international seminars. BAR, however, encourages
counterpart funding support from the mother agency and
sponsoring agencies.
