DOST-PCIEERD issues bilateral joint research calls with foreign counterpart agencies.

Both require matching applications by the foreign counterpart on their respective national portals. Funding for the Philippine side is covered by DOST-PCIEERD under standard GIA eligibility rules (HEIs, RDIs, non-profit S&T organizations). Bilateral cooperation programs may expand to additional partner countries in future cycles.
