IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING, EVALUATION AND UTILIZATION OF
RESEARCH RESULTS/ OUTPUTS and EXTENSION PROGRAMS

Monitoring and Evaluation of Research & Extension Programs Research and
Development the Research programs of the University shall be monitored and
evaluated for the following reasons:

General Objectives:
To generate valid and reliable data and information as bases for decision-
making in project planning and implementation. Evaluation provides
justification to project decisions as follows:

1. To continue or defer the implementation of new research projects.
2. To continue executing or to make changes on plans and activities of on-
going projects. Evaluation prompts projects to accelerate its
implementation or to revise implementation plans to suit current
conditions.
3. To continue or to stop implementation of on-going projects. Evaluation
reinforces the conviction to proceed with operation until it is finished,
or serve warning to cut short the lifespan of a project. 4. To replicate or
forget all about a completed project. Evaluation either opens up or
closes down the chances of a project to be expanded, duplicated or
replicated.
4. To communicate with all project stakeholders; and
5. To generate a sense of accountability, satisfaction and unity among all
stakeholders.
