c. Implementing the R & D Plans

The Strategic R & D Plan, the Medium-Term R & D Work Plan and the Annual R &
D Action Plan shall be translated into Operational Action Plans in research units of
departments and/or research centers. From this Operation Plan, an RDET Employee
Work Plan shall be developed on a semestral basis divided into five months.

The Employee Work Plan will be the basis of monitoring and evaluation of the RDET
employees in meeting the goals and objectives of the strategic plan, medium-term
plan and action plan.

The progress in meeting the goals and objectives of the plans at various levels should
be fed to the R& D Coordinators of constituent campuses and cluster campuses on
a monthly basis and to the University R & D Directors on a semestral basis. Among
other considerations, the monitoring and evaluation plan should be able to assess
the inputs, activities and processes, outcomes, effects and possibly, initial impacts
against the defined objectives.

2. Research Proposals

A Research Proposal is necessary before a research project (program, project, study) can be
properly implemented. The detailed methodological rigor is what ensures that a research
is scientifically conducted. Hence only researches that passed through the evaluation
and screening process implemented by the University with the appropriately approved
research proposal is recognized by the University. For the purpose, the proposal should
follow a standard research proposal formats (e.g. the DOST councils, DA-BAR, CHED, or
other research funding institutions). Full-blown research project proposals should have the
following component parts:

● Program/Project Title

● Name & address of Proponents

● Implementing and cooperating agency/ies

● R&D station

● Site of implementation

● Classification of R&D
