to the requirements and procedures of the funding agency like
PCIERD, PCARRD, DOST, DA, CHED, DENR, DOE etc.

Section 4. Approval of Research Proposal

For institutionalized researches, the researcher will
receive a “Notice to Proceed” from the VPRDE with the Director
for Research and Division Chief copy furnished signaling the
conduct of research. For externally funded researches, once
approved by the Council, the University President forwards the
research proposal to the funding agency and the proponent will
wait for the release of fund for conduct of research.

Section 5. Technology Development Process

In accordance to DOST-PCARRD, the technology
development process is composed of five major phases:
technology generation, verification, adaptation, dissemination
and commercialization (PCARRD Highlights 2001, 1997 and
1995).

Technology Generation (TG) This is the scientific and
experimental stage wherein a R and D center utilizes all its
resources human/technical, financial, material, physical and
other resources to generate a component technology or a
package of technology. The technology generated shall vary in
accordance to the mandates of each of the R and D Center.

Technology Verification (TV) A technology is classified
for verification if it can be incorporated in a package of
technology that has potential for improving existing farmers’
practices. Specifically, it should satisfy the following:

▪ It is an integrated technology conducted in the farmers’
fields
▪ It has been tested for two seasons in TG trials
▪ It has shown economic and technical feasibility in TG
trials. Its computed return based on TG trial is better
than that of farmers’ practices as shown by marginal rate
of return (MRR)
▪ It is perceived to be socially acceptable and
environmentally safe.

Technology Adaptation (TA) A technology is classified as
technology for adaptation if it meets the following criteria:
