                                         Recently,  the  Commission  on  Higher  Education  (CHED)  is


                                 strengthening  the  extension  function  of  the  Higher  Education  Institutions

                                 (HEIs).  In  fact,  the  Commission  has  Grant-In-Aids  (GIA)  for  extension


                                 programs  and  projects.  Aside  from  CHED,  other  institutions  such  as

                                 Department  of  Science  and  Technology  (DOST)  and  Department  of


                                 Agriculture (DA) provide grants for extension.

                                         To  better  reinforce  the  extension  function  of  the  University,  the


                                 creation of the CvSU Extension Grant is proposed. The grant aims to produce

                                 high quality and relevant extension projects for the promotion of community

                                 development.


                                         The  CvSU  Extension  Grant  shall  give  priority  to  extension  projects

                                 which are: aligned with the University Research and Extension Agenda; based


                                 on  the  needs  of  the  community;  utilize  University  research  outputs;

                                 multidisciplinary; and apply appropriate extension approaches, strategies and


                                 methods.
