Guidelines for Strategic Planning and Priority
Setting of R&D Programs and Projects

ISU is a large but relatively young institution, its

research and extension thrusts and directions are

geared towards nourishing degree level learning-teaching

for the continued growth and development of higher

education in all campuses of ISU while at the same time
promote the frontiers of knowledge by seeking new

technologies to improve community life in its various

service areas.

Owing to the very limited financial resources of the
University particularly for R&D and extension as

compared to instruction, R&D programs and projects

must be maintained more effectively and efficiently. If

any of its R&D plans, programs and projects is to succeed,

the various factors that will determine its intended

Outcomes must be thoroughly identified and
established. And this calls for an objective planning

and programming of its activities to minimize the

occurrence of undesirable and unpredictable events

that would likely derail program/project/activity

implementation.
