Tarlac Agricultural University, Department of Research Development (TAU-DRD) conducted a successful benchmarking activity at the Ateneo de Manila University on August 30, 2024. The delegation, led by Dr. Maria Elena T. Caguioa, Director of Research and Development, aimed to learn about Ateneo's best practices in university research ethics and grants management.

The TAU team, which included Engr. Chelsie Pagatpatan, Chief of Research Ethics Committee, Engr. Bennidict Pueyo, Chief for Affiliated Renewable Energy Center, Mr. Emanuelle Jayson Boac, Chief of Innovation Technology Support office, Ms. Ma. Koleen Buenaventura, Mr. Robert John Gabriel and Ms. Mary Joy Lictawa, DRD Staffs, engaged in fruitful discussions with Ateneo representatives, including Dr. Filomeno V. Aguilar, Assistant Vice President for Research, Creative Work, and Innovation, Mr. Ron Cruz, UREO Director, and Mr. Josef Ian Bondoc, Research Grants Support Officer.

The benchmarking activity provided TAU with valuable insights into Ateneo's robust research ethics framework and its efficient processes for managing research ethics and grants. These learnings will be instrumental in strengthening TAU's own research governance and support systems.

As TAU continues to enhance its research capabilities, the knowledge gained from this benchmarking activity will undoubtedly contribute to its success in fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
