This flowchart presents the official procedure that external researchers must follow when seeking approval to conduct studies at NDMC. It highlights the sequential process of endorsement and approval—from the initial submission of a letter, through review by the RDC, VPAA, and President, until the researcher is authorized to proceed with data gathering or pilot testing. The diagram serves as a practical guide to ensure clarity, consistency, and proper adherence to institutional protocols.

The Research Advisers’ Assembly shines as a source of knowledge and cooperation in the quest for academic excellence. The assembly, which took place in the JBB-AVR on December 1, 2023, is a meeting of the minds committed to improving science and art in the field of research and development.

Setting the tone, Mrs. Jolai G. Bolaños discussed the necessity of retraining research advisers. Her talk explains the rationale behind this crucial change, highlighting the advisers' responsibility to adjust to changing research approaches. 

The face-to-face encounter between NDMC-UPD researchers and the Arumanen ne Menuvu elders happened on April 26-27 in Pangipasan, Matalam Cotabato. 

The elders are co-producers of Serepungan: Research Training and Partnership Program in Philippine Studies. 

Fr. Stephen “Bambam” Ondoy, OMI- Director of the OMI IP Mission School in Pangipasan welcomed the research team for a “dinehey” or dialogue with the community.  

Any academic institution that claims excellence has exhausted everything possible to maintain dynamic instruction, engaging extension and rigorous research. These are pillars of excellence of the school not only recognized by an accrediting and funding agencies, scholarships and grants but most importantly her client – the student.
