RATIONALE
Research is one of the major functions of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It is a show window of institutional competence. It complements and invigorates instruction and extension. Research produces and creates leading edge knowledge and provides dynamism and relevance to instruction program. Without the fruits of labor of the researchers, the extension agents will not have anything to disseminate to students and the wider community.
The Northwestern Visayan Colleges is consistently supportive in promoting our research system to higher level. Considering the dynamic nature of research and with the support of the Commission on Higher Education to HEIs in performing their research and instruction functions, the NVC always attune its research thrusts and agenda along with the trends of the National Higher Research Agenda (NHERA), Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to become more locally responsive and globally competitive.
The Northwestern Visayan Colleges Research Operations Manual is designed to provide the faculty and staff the direction in the research process from planning, organizing, implementing, monitoring, and coordinating and in evaluating research and development. With this manual, the NVC could motivate number of researchers to initiate, implement and produce research outputs which eventually lead NVC in transforming into a University.
THINGS TO DO:
In consonance with the recommendations of National Higher Education Research Agenda
(NHERA), the research thrusts of Northwestern Visayan Colleges are the following:
- Improving the research capability of Northwestern Visayan Colleges to
become globally competitive. - Advancing faculty, staff and students in all colleges/departments by discipline.
- Generating new knowledge/technologiesthrough research.
- Promoting and facilitating the dissemination and utilization of research
outputs to enhance instruction and extension programs
RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS
To enhance the research capability of the NVC, the faculty members are expected
to lead in the conduct of research in their disciplines. In support, the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) recommend
research priorities and allocate funds for research grants, scholarships and for other
research and development programs.
To ensure effective and efficient promotion of research, the Northwestern Visayan
Colleges takes full responsibility to:
- Encourage the faculty, staff and students to conduct disciplinary and/or
multidisciplinary research projects; - Support research projects with necessary funds, equipment, materials and
supplies and technical assistance; - Encourage collaborative researches with other higher institutions, government and non- government organizations and industry.
- . Provide a system of appropriate rewards and incentives;
- Conduct periodic in-house reviews; and
- Publish completed and reviewed researches in a refereed journal –
