CY 2021 DOST Call For Proposals

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) continuously provides assistance to relevant R&D endeavors to push the development of local and appropriate technologies with socio-economic benefits for the people. This is to ensure that new knowledge and information are generated to increase productivity, and ensure quality products and processes in the country.

We are pleased to inform you that the Call for Proposals for CY 2021 funding and implementation under the DOST Grants-in-Aid (GIA) Program is now open. We enjoin you to submit proposals that are aligned with the priority areas under the Harmonized National Research and Development Agenda (HNRDA) 2017-2022. We strongly encourage proposals that forge linkage between the government, academe and the industry sector to ensure the development of demand-driven technologies, and most importantly projects that will ensure transfer of technologies developed from completed R&D projects funded by DOST-GIA.
For your guidance, below are the deadlines for submission of proposals:

All proposals, written in the prescribed DOST format, should be submitted to the Office of the Undersecretary for R&D on or before the given deadline. You may also e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
