incorporated and made part and parcel of this R&D Manual of Operations.

Technology Management Dr. Dante M. Aquino, University Director for Research and Development
Dr. Orlando F. Balderama, and the inputs from the Cluster R & D Directors and Campus R & D
Coordinators are highly appreciated. Dr. Edmundo C. Gumpal is likewise acknowledge for his
initiative for the 2010 ISU R&D, E&T Manual which was used as basis for this manual.

May this Manual of Operations for Research and Development serve as guide for the pursuit of
excellence in Research and Development in ISU.
