I am unsure whether the sentence would make grammatical sense as has or have had. Is this sentence fragment considered singular or plural? Is stressing a gerund that makes it singular? Because innovative studies is plural, so I assumed that this sentence was plural and I needed the use of have had.

The verb agrees with the singular gerund, stressing. So, has. Innovative studies is an object (studies) of the gerund that serves as the subject here, with a modifying adjective (innovative). It's irrelevant.
