Pangasinan State University Campus orients SDO research focal and ITOs on the DepEd Region I Research Portal. The faculty of the College of Computing of Pangasinan State University-Urdaneta Campus orients the research focal and Information Technology Officers (ITOs) from the 14 Schools Division Offices on the new DepEd Region I Research Portal.

The orientation, initiated by the Policy, Planning and Research Division (PPRD), is held at the Ynadโ€™s Place Hotel and Resort, San Fernando City, La Union on November 9-10, 2023. The said research portal aims to address the increasing need for data management solutions as the number of completed research piles up every year. It is also a means to improve the dissemination and advocacy of available research studies for utilization of the academic community. The portal could also generate summary reports right at the fingertips for top management analysis and decisions.

The participants were familiarized with the portal environment through the navigation of the systemโ€™s features and the creation of SDO accounts. Future enhancements shall include the application for online publication, counter for viewing and citation, and bulk attachment of research records.

Daid portal id designed and developed by PSU as part of its extension program. DepEd and the PSU have earlier entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to seal their partnership for collaboration projects.

The Pangasinan State University who served as trainers and developers were Arni-rie F. Tamayo, Rhenel R. Bernisca, Leo Gabriel V. Villanueva, Joshua C. Reyes, Michael E. Acosta, Kathleen D. De Guzman, Kathleen Jane G. Esteves, Ezralyn L. Coz and Christine Lourrine S. Tablatin.
