In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. Since UP-PGH is under UP Manila, researches conducted in our hospital need to follow the protocols for conducting research in UP Manila.  EFOI requestors need to initially seek endorsement from the UP Manila Research and Ethics Board prior to the approval of the request.  It can be accessed online through the UPMREB website (reb.upm.edu.ph) . There are forms to be filled up and instructions are given. Subsequently, they need to register via online to the Research Grants Administration Office (RGAO). Once clearance has been obtained, the PGH Expanded Hospital Research Office (EHRO) will issue a permit for the request to proceed and to be acted upon by the concerned department.  For coordination and other inquiries pertaining to the conduct of research in PGH, the EHRO can be reached at telephone number 8554-8400 local 2064.  Its office is located on the second floor of UP PGH.
