ABOUT
With support from the USAID STRIDE, and partnership between The Center for Business Research and Development (CBRD) and The Center for Professional Development in Business (CPDB) of DLSU RVR-COB, the Skills in Technical and Advanced Research Training (START): A Research Capacity Hub was born. START’s aim is to become the leading innovation hub to harness the initiatives of researchers, faculty, students, and practitioners, and to help them advance their skills in the research discipline.
The research hub is a training base and a professional development space for individuals to gain the vital skills in growing businesses or leading change in scaleups. Through this institute, START will RISE (Reinforce Innovators, Support Entrepreneurs) as it continues to develop and build research-related competencies that will accelerate an increase in the wave of innovation leaders and entrepreneurial talents in the economy.
