Research monitoring and evaluation system (instruments used, evaluation
results, etc.)

A systematic monitoring and evaluation (M&E) shall be implemented for all research
projects. The evaluation shall be based on the detailed action and financial plan as embodied
in the approved research proposal. For the purpose, prescribed M&E forms shall be used.
The cumulative progress of the project shall be closely monitored to ensure that project

outputs and deliverables shall be attained on time as envisioned and scheduled in the
research proposal. An integral component of the M&E of ongoing and terminated
researches shall be the conduct of a regular R&D Agency In-House Review (AIHR) by the
University. This shall be conducted once a year. The AIHR shall be done in coordination with
the pre-AIHR reviews of the different ISU campuses and clusters. A campus may opt to
conduct other reviews as it may see fit.
