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
development process technology is composed of five
technology major phases: verification,
generation, and adaptation, dissemination (PCARRD
commercialization 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:
