RESEARCH THRUSTS AND STRATEGIES 19

d. Strengthen research activities through increased research programs and projects to be
packaged, endorsed for approval, and for implementation.

e. Strengthen the formulation of R&D policies sustaining the research allocation of 10
percent to 20 percent from the supplemental budget for research and providing
mechanisms for their effective and efficient utilization.

f. Cultivate distinguished multidisciplinary research fields and pursuing research excellence
by building a quality research environment and a dynamic research community through
the provision of sustainable financial support

g. Encourage international research cooperation through the formation of alliances
with locally and internationally known research centers and building mechanisms for
cooperation or scholarship exchange programs with them.

h. Encourage industry-university partnership by fostering research cooperation through
sharing of science-based knowledge systems.

i. Explore new strategies in research management along monitoring and evaluation
(M&E), fund and resource generation, institutionalization of RMIS through enhanced
ICT and IEC, and formulation of R&D management priorities through complementation,
integration and resource sharing.

B. Knowledge and Technology Management (KTM; or R&D

Utilization)

To fully benefit from the knowledge and technology generated from R&D, the University shall
adopt a KTM system by implementing specific thrusts and strategies.

● Knowledge management includes acquisition, creation, dissemination and application of
knowledge, and the adoption of insights and sharing of research results and approaches,
best practices and success stories.

● Technology management includes technology adaptation and integration; technology
validation; technology piloting; technology promotion, transfer, and commercialization;
and provision for the information and technology needs of clients.

Very essential to KTM is that the knowledge or technology to be managed must have passed
critical verification and validation. It should have undergone the rigorous peer review process by
the scientific community through its (knowledge or technology) publication in an international
peer reviewed journal. It is only after such a publication before it may be considered an
established knowledge or a mature technology that is ripe for KTM.
