Delivering timely evidence

Aligned with key national policy priorities like curbing use of harmful substances, promoting healthy food and water consumption, and reducing injuries, the Health Promotion Program provides rapid evidence review services, establishes comprehensive research support services and mobilizes study teams. This ensures timely delivery of research evidence directly contributing to targeted policy processes.

Supporting community empowerment

The Health Promotion Program also fuels deeper community engagement in knowledge building for health promotion through participatory action research. We achieve this by building research literacy through targeted capacity building interventions; empowering community researchers with grants and dedicated mentoring; and providing publication support to amplify their voices and findings.

Investing in the future

Our commitment to capacity building for health promotion research, including participatory action research, extends beyond programmatic interventions. We collaborate with the Department of Health in shaping their work-based fellowship and partner with the University of the Philippines Manila's MA in Health Policy -HSS program to offer opportunities for research grant support.

Maximizing impact and fostering collaboration

Likewise our team leverages research translation principles to develop impactful strategic communication and dissemination plans, maximizing the reach and uptake of research findings. Making significant strides, we're establishing communities of practice to foster meaningful dialogues, advocacy efforts and ongoing research collaboration.

Building a data-driven health promotion practice

On our journey to become the future Institute of Health Promotion, we will lay the groundwork for a dedicated data center. This center will champion wider data utilization in academic and practice research, ultimately bolstering advancements in health promotion.
