The Philippine Association of Institutions for Research or PAIR is a body that aims to advance quality multidisciplinary research and its dissemination in collaboration with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

History
The founding of PAIR was envisaged by Dr. Genaro V. Japos, research director of the Liceo de Cagayan University, which is the institution base of the association located at the heart of Cagayan de Oro City, the center for commerce of Northern Mindanao, Philippines. To start up the founding, a meeting with some representatives of various tertiary schools in Mindanao was convened during the training of editors for a refereed research journal by Zonal Research Center of the Commission on Higher Education at the Notre Dame of Marbel University, City of Koronadal, South Cotabato, on April 2, 2007. It was during that meeting that the association’s underlying principles were laid, the board of trustees was created, and the first set of officers were elected. Three months later, on August 14, 2007, the association got its legal identity as it registered with the Philippine Security and Exchange Commission. Almost a year after its SEC registration2, the association was formally launched via its first CHED-endorsed national health and environment research forum held at the Liceo de Cagayan University on August 1 and Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan on August 2, 2008. By then, the first set of officers was inducted and the seven pioneering member-institutions took oath. Thereafter, succeeding CHED-endorsed research conferences, both national and international, were held in different venues, increasing the association’s membership.

Purpose
The Philippine Association of Institutions for Research or PAIR is a scientific and professional body of currently 52 higher education institutions in the Philippines on oath to advance quality multidisciplinary research and its dissemination in collaboration with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). PAIR is an affiliate organization of the Association of Institutional Research (AIR), United States of America. PAIR is a member of the International Association of Multidisciplinary Research (IAMURE) and the International Accreditation of Academic Journals.

Affiliations
PAIR is a partner of the Philippine E-Journals, Philippine Journals Online, Electronic International Scientific Research Journal Consortium, and STIE Perbanas, Surabaya, Indonesia.

Quality Management System
PAIR operates to provide member-institutions with mechanisms that train researchers and publish peer reviewed scientific journals that meet international standards, which are accessible online and print, archived, indexed and cross-referenced for utilization by end users globally. PAIR implements a Quality Management System that is currently being applied for ISO 9001: 2008 by the Anglo Japanese American Registrars, Inc. based in the United Kingdom. PAIR aspires to produce the first ISO certified journal publication in the world.
