ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR RESEARCH

SERVICES

The organizational structure of the University R & D Services is presented in Figure 1. The structure
reflects how work is divided among officials and managers and how positions and offices or units
are delineated and related to one another. The relationship and work assignments of the various
stakeholders are briefly described hereunder.

A. Board of Regents

The Board of Regents (BOR), the policy-making body of the University, is the highest structure.
The BOR decides the direction the University (including R&D) should take. The Board sets
the policies, plans, major programs and projects, annual budgets, budgetary allocations and
approves key R&D appointments and designations.

B. University Research and Development, Extension and

Training (URDET) Council

With the Academic Council (ACO) and Administrative Council (ADCO) of the University, the
URDET Council serves as the policy-determining body and clearing house of the University as
far as Research and Development and Extension services, are concerned.
