shows the sample of standard research proposal format used by
all researchers for external funding. See Figure 2- page _____
for the Flowchart of R & D Proposals.

Section 2. Evaluation of Research Proposal

The submitted capsule research proposals will be
presented by the researcher in a Technical Review of Proposal
(TRP) attended by the University Research and Extension
Council (URDE serving as panel of evaluators. The Council is
chaired by the Vice President for Research and Extension and
co-chaired by the Director for Research.

Once the proposals are presented, the committee reviews
the title, rationale, objectives, expected output, methodology,
and budget of the research proposals. The evaluators must
provide relevant comments and suggestions on how to further
improve the contents of the proposals. Appendix 2 shows the
Research Proposal Evaluation Sheet Form 1.

The criteria for the evaluation of the research proposal
shall be based on the following:

▪ clarity of the rationale
▪ rationality and attainability of set objectives
▪ appropriateness of the methodology
▪ feasibility in terms of time
▪ area requirement and cost
▪ training and personal application of the proponents
▪ potential impact of the expected research results
▪ budget proposed for the research

Once the capsule proposal is approved by the URDE, the
researcher shall prepare a detailed proposal. On the other hand,
disapproved proposals will have to be revised and be subjected to
another review.

Section 3. Budget Allocation

For institutionalized researches, the Research Director
endorses the proposal to the University President for final
approval and budget allocation. Research proposals that
require funding from external agencies/sources also pass
through the usual system of evaluation. Once approved by the
Council, the University President forwards the proposals to the
funding agency Researches seeking external fund must conform
