𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 | Bridging Health Research and Policy: 3-Minute Pitch Workshop

Day 2 of the 3-Minute Pitch (3MP) Workshop (June 19, 2025) showcased the heart of the event—a live presentation of the participants’ crafted pitches, complete with a one-slide visual and a brief Q&A session. Each representative from CHRDC member institutions took the stage to present their health research as if addressing real-world policymakers and target stakeholders.

The activity not only tested the participants' grasp of the technical aspects but also reflected the depth of their learning from Day 1. From well-structured scripts to impactful delivery and confident responses during the Q&A, it was clear that participants had internalized the core principles of effective research communication. The session served as a simulation of how researchers must advocate for evidence-based solutions in settings where time is limited but impact is critical.

More than just a workshop, this experience aimed to equip researchers for future engagements—whether presenting at the upcoming CHRDC Regional Health Research Conference, joining local, national pitch competitions, or communicating their findings directly to policymakers and communities that their work seeks to serve.

Best Pitch Presentation:
🏆𝐌𝐫. 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨 𝐀. 𝐅𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 (Philippine Normal University - Mindanao)

𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 | Bridging Health Research and Policy: 3-Minute Pitch Workshop

CHRDC successfully launched Day 1 (June 18, 2025) of the “Bridging Health Research and Policy: 3-Minute Pitch Workshop,” bringing together member institutions for a capacity-building event aimed at transforming impactful health research into concise, strategic pitches that can influence policy and practice. This initiative responds to the growing need for researchers to effectively communicate their work to policymakers, funders, and the broader public.

The first talk, “Crafting a Winning 3MP” by 𝐌𝐬. 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐨, drew from her personal journey as a 3rd Place Winner at the 2024 PNHRS 3MP Competition. She emphasized that a 3MP is more than just a short presentation—it is a fusion of research, advocacy, and storytelling. Participants learned the importance of selecting relevant and understandable research, writing intentional scripts, delivering with confidence, and preparing for Q&A sessions. Debbie’s message was both practical and inspiring: “May the roof I built become the ground on which you confidently stand.”

In the second session, “Lessons from the Field: A Researcher’s Journey to the 3MP Stage,” 𝐌𝐫. 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚 shared his candid experiences navigating the 3MP platform. He highlighted that excellence takes time and that preparation, confidence, and authenticity are key to making a strong impact in just three minutes. His reflections encouraged participants to embrace storytelling, understand the heart of their research, and enjoy the journey of growth that comes with the process—reminding everyone that “whatever the outcome, the experience is a gain.”

The day concluded with two interactive workshops focused on breaking down the elements of a winning pitch and storyboarding research narratives. These sessions allowed participants to refine their skills in content clarity, slide design, and visual storytelling.

A strong start to a workshop that bridges science and policy through compelling communication—3 minutes at a time.
