9. Reporting time and dates
Use the 24 hour time system with four digits. Dates are reported with day of the day
first, then month, followed by the year (e.g., 08 Aug 2009).

Where appropriate and for the purpose of promoting and enhancing the research
productivity of HEIs, the policy guidelines for the CHED Accreditation of Research
Journals shall be used as basic reference for updating and revision of these guidelines.

14. Guidelines on Research and Development-Extension and Training
Continuum

Although there is an independent Extension and Training (E&T) Manual, this Section of
the Research and Development (R&D) Manual is included as it covers the inseparable link
between the two. The R&D and E&T continuum is extremely important to obtain a direct
impact on instruction and resource generation for one and the target clientele on the other.

The following policy guidelines provide a meaningful linkage between R&D and E&T:

a. Sharing of vision, mission, goals and objectives by defining the roles and responsibilities
in the R&D–E&T continuum, including human resources particularly the hiring of a
Subject Matter Specialist trained not only for information dissemination but also for
technology adaptation, technology integration and technology packaging and training;

b. Joint planning of R&D and E&T programs and projects in view of the separation of
research and extension organizations (separate R&D Director from E&T Director, KTM
Director and the Directors of Research Centers, each having different research and
extension programs/projects, staff and budget);

c. Funding of interphase or overlapping functions of research and extension particularly along
technology adaptation, technology integration and technology packaging and training;

d. Providing incentives for expanded responsibilities of researchers and extension workers;

e. Improvement of communication and collaboration among researchers, extension
agents, farmers and farmer-eaders and support services; and

f. Improving communication and collaboration with the faculty and support staff, students,
industry, clientele and the private sector.

15. Intellectual Property Policy and Guidelines

Treasuring the substantial creativity, innovativeness and intellectual contribution of the
faculty, research and support staff, as well as students in the creation of intellectual property,
the University adopts the following policy guidelines on intellectual property.
