PCARI – Philippine-California Advanced Research Institutes
The Philippine-California Advanced Research Institutes (PCARI) project is a new approach to enhance the skills and expertise of faculty and staff of Philippine universities and colleges through scholarships, training, and research partnerships with top-tier research universities in California. The priority areas are information infrastructure development (IID) and health innovation and translational medicine (HITM).
Information infrastructure development refers to the technological and human components, networks, systems, and processes that contribute to the creation, flow or exchange, processing and management of electronic information. Health innovation and translational medicine refers to the bench-to-bedside translation of basic scientific research to practicable diagnostic procedures and therapies with meaningful improvements to physical, mental or social health outcomes.

IHI Corp. – IHI is a major Japanese manufacturer of heavy machinery and oceangoing ships headquartered in Tokyo.
The company was founded by the Mito branch of the Tokugawa family in 1853 as a shipbuilding yard in Edo (modern Tokyo); it was incorporated in 1889. The Harima Dock (later Harima Shipbuilding and Engineering) was established in 1907 in Kōbe. The merger of the two shipyards in 1960 resulted in the present company. Ishikawajima-Harima pioneered in the development of tankers to transport liquid natural gas, and the company remains in the forefront of ship design for the energy industry. One of its largest projects was the construction of a floating pulp factory designed to process pulpwood. The company and its subsidiaries also produce marine and aircraft engines, chemical products, iron and steel manufacturing equipment, and material-handling machinery.
