With these “commodity-based” research thrusts and the thematic
research thrusts as simultaneous considerations for potential sources of

potential researchable areas, and based on external environment
(opportunities and threats) and internal (ISU’s strengths and weaknesses),

the University research agenda were generated. The research agenda,
with built in dynamics of flexibility, shall be the guide in the formulation of

research proposals and the basis of approving research support by the
University. The University Research Agenda is periodically updated when
new research directions and opportunities emerge.

Approved Research Manual

The Research and Development of ISU is based on
ISU Research and Development, Extension & Training (

RDET ) Manual of Operation approved by the
University Board of Regents (BOR) on June 14, 2010
through Resolution No. 10, s. 2010. On September
2014 (Resolution No. 63 s. 2014) the ISU Board of
Regents approved a new set of institutional and
financial incentives for University researchers
who have published research outputs in
recognized publications/have registered inventions,

and other research-related outputs. All of
these new developments were incorporated and made
part and parcel of the R&D Manual of Operations.
