4.1.4.1. Research Proposal Flowchart
The following steps shall be undertaken in the screening and evaluation of research
proposals:

4.1.4.1.1. Conceptualization and preparation of Research 4.1 proposals at the College level by
individual proponents in line with the university’s R & D priorities.

4.1.4.1.2. The proposal is reviewed by the local Research College Coordinators with the Dean
of the College and its subsequent endorsement to the office of the Research Director
for consolidation.

4.1.4.1.3. The Research Director convenes the university Research Council to review the
proposals and make the necessary recommendations. This is done in the URCR. If
approved, the proposal is scheduled for presentation during the Agency In-house
Review. Comments, suggestions, recommendations are integrated in the proposal by
individual proponents and sent back to the office of the Research Director.
4.1.4.1.4. The proposals are forwarded to the Office of the Research Director then to the Vice
President for RDET for final endorsement to the Office of the President.

Figures 1 and 2 in the following pages present the flowchart for the preparation, evaluation,
screening and approval of Research proposals and the process for the approval of Research
for Publication.

4.1.5 Formats in Preparing Capsule Research Proposal
Formats in preparing capsule research proposals follow either the:

4.1.5.1. DOST Capsule Research Proposal
4.1.5.2. DA-BAR Capsule Research Proposal; and
4.1.5.3. CHED Capsule Research Proposal.

RDET usually use the DOST Capsule Research Proposal. An example of the format is
found in the appendix.
4.1.6 Technology Development Process
According to PCARRD of the DOST, the technology development process is composed of
five major phases. These are: a) technology generation, b) verification, c) adaptation, d)
dissemination and e) commercialization.
4.1.6.1 Technology Generation (TG). This is the scientific and experimental
stage wherein an R&D center utilizes all its resources: human/technical,
financial, material, physical and other resources to generate a
component technology or a package of technology. These vary
according to the mandates of RDET.
4.1.6.2 Technology Verification (TV). A technology is classified for verification if it
can be incorporated in a package of technology that has potential for
