EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the past year, the OVCRE has
concentrated all its efforts in being instrumental
in the attainment of the Chancellors vision for
UPLB to be a globally competitive graduate
and research university contributing to national
development.
Mandated as the UPLB unit in charge with
the universitys research and extension
programs, the OVCRE is tasked to oversee
the development and implementation of R
and E programs of the university; initiate
innovative techniques for efficient planning,
implementation, performance evaluation,
and reporting of R and E activities in the
university; effect increased output of technical
and popular publications and implement an
extensive and efficient distribution system;
coordinate staff development of personnel
research, extension, and professional staff
categories; and assist in resource generation
and in the establishment of inter-institutional
linkages in R and E.
Executive Summary
is seeking commitment for publication of
completed researches.
As a continuing initiative to promote effective
research implementation, PDMES conducted
the 10th Orientation Seminar on R&D Project
Implementation and Management. Likewise,
to further increase scientific productivity, the
PDMES also crafted the Scientific Paper
Writing Workshop Series and Journal Matching
Service. In the pipeline is the Publication
Assistance Program, which will provide editorial
and monetary assistance to high impact
researches for publication to ISI-indexed
journals.
PDMES also endorsed project proposals
to various research grants offered by the
System (i.e. ECWRG, EIDR, Balik PhD), and
established new linkages with local (i.e. Sugar
Regulatory Administration) and international
(i.e. USAID STRIDE) funding agencies.
The Information Management and Technology
Utilization Section (IMTUS) manages, packages
and reports R and E related data from all units
for use by the university administration and
other agencies. Development of the OVCRE

Way Forward
Much still needs to be desired for the
attainment of being a globally competitive
graduate and research university. But the
OVCRE fully commits to take on the challenge
towards national development.
We are looking forward to the streamlining of
the various Interdisciplinary Studies Centers
as we identify and focus on UPLBs niches.
We are excited that the TechnoHub project will
commence within the year.
New proposals and programs are also in the
works including the Climate Forecasting
Laboratory and the Life Cycle Assessment
Center.
As OVCRE reiterated on the production of
publications from completed researches, we
are looking ahead to an increase in the number
of IPA Awardees among our faculty and staff.
Moreover, the REPS welfare will continuously
be prioritized as we seek approval of various
guidelines and policies from the BOR.
We are also looking into drafting the OVCRE
Manual of Operations which shall include the
revised Research Manual and Extension
Manual.
We believe that as UPLB comes closer to its
vision, our contributions to scientific
knowledge, research productivity and
technology generation becomes more and
more true to the UP tradition of honor and
excellence and to its mandate as a national
university - serving its country and its people.
