Monitoring and

evaluation Research

Projects

The research projects are monitored in two ways: (1)
the financial and (2) the technical aspects.

The accounting department of the University monitors
and audits the financial status of the research funds. However, the
Special Budget Officer of the ResearchCenter records every
disbursement for each research project/unit and annotates the
Purchase Request Forms to indicate availability of funds and
from which funds the purchases are to be credited.

The Office of the Director of Research serves as the
monitoring and coordinating arm for all researches in the
University. Although research activities are independently
undertaken by the different colleges, faculty researchers are still
required to submit quarterly progress reports on their research
projects/studies. The researchers submit their progress reports to
their respective Deans concerned, which in turn endorses the
progress reports to the Office of the Director. This enables the
ResearchCenter to keep track of ongoing projects for monitoring
and evaluation as well as workload compensation purposes.

The technical reports are submitted by the project proponent to
the Monitoring and Evaluation Unit of the ResearchCenter. The
numbers of copies are stated below:

 Copies of Progress Report to be forwarded to the funding agency
 Copies of the Annual Report to be used in annual agency
in- house review
 Copies of the Terminal Report to be submitted two months after
the termination or completion of the project.

Annual Local Agency In-House Review

evaluation purposes is the holding of the Annual Local Agency In-
