The University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) currently adopts a programmatic structure wherein a sizeable network of scholars is brought together and maintained under a Research Program. Through this, these academics can pursue a common research agenda and build their academic, industry, and policy networks relevant to their research work.
By supporting several Research Programs, UP CIDS provides opportunities for and encourages collaboration between and among them. This enables the Center to address critical and long-standing national issues and further allows UP CIDS to accommodate research on new and emerging international and national policy concerns.
In the past, UP CIDS has also supported Local-Regional Studies Network (LRSN) Projects:
- Cordillera Studies Center (CSC) University of the Philippines Baguio
- Manila Studies Program (discontinued) University of the Philippines Manila
- Southern Tagalog Studies Program/Interdisciplinary Studies Center on South Luzon University of the Philippines Los Baños
