ResearchCatanduanes
State University's Research and Development Services (R&DS) recently
organized the Seminar-Workshop Series 1: Research Proposal Writing to improve
the quality and quantity of research conducted by faculty researchers on March
15-16, 2023, at the CatSU Accreditation Room.
The
workshop aimed to equip faculty researchers with the skills and tools needed to
write a feasible research proposal, which is crucial for securing internal and
external funding. Additionally, the event sought to encourage innovative
approaches to writing the key elements of a research proposal, including the
problem statement, literature review, research methodology, justification,
outputs, and expected results. The workshop also focused on refining the
research proposals submitted to the R&DS.
The
write shop began with a discussion of various topics such as the institutional
research process, ethical considerations, structure of a scientific proposal,
population selection and sampling, Gantt chart and budgetary considerations,
and effective citations and referencing.
The
resource speakers, who are experts in their respective fields, provided
practical tips and advice on how to write effective research proposals. The
plenary sessions were conducted and facilitated by Dr. Lily P. Custodio,
Executive Vice President (EVP), Dr. Ramon Felipe A. Sarmiento, Vice President
for Research, Extension, and Production Affairs (VP-REPA), Dr. Jose Z. Tria,
R&DS Director, Dr. Jimmylen Z. Tonio, Dean of the College of Humanities and
Social Sciences (CHUMSS), Prof. Anne F. Gianan, Assistant Professor of the
College of Science (COS), Dr. Lilibeth I. Tubalinal, Associate Professor II of
College of Health Sciences (CHS) and Ms. Bernadeth T. Garcia, R&DS
Statistician II. Participants engaged in discussions and various activities
held online and offline.
The
workshops provided a hands-on approach to research proposals writing, allowing
participants to put into practice what they learned from the resource speakers.
Their respective Research Coordinators and the R&DS staff facilitated the
workshops, providing guidance and feedback on the proposed studies.
At
the end of the event, participants refined their research proposals, taking
into account all the learnings and experiences gained in the activity. The
output of the event was research proposals expected to be submitted by the
proponents on or before March 31, 2023.
The
R&DS expressed gratitude to everyone who participated in the
Seminar-Workshop's success. Dr. Tria emphasized that the University should
primarily focus on generating knowledge that benefits its community and that
everything starts with a research proposal. After such, other research activities
such as implementation, presentation, publication, extension, utilization,
commercialization, and citation will automatically follow.
Moreover,
Dr. Tria said that this research activity is anchored in the current
administration’s Vision of HOPE which encourages CatSU faculty members to
engage in capacity building activities to enhance the quality and quantity of
research.
The
University's next research-related activity will be "INVENTouring: A
Proposal Enhancement Writeshop for Filipino Inventors," to be held on
March 28-30, 2023, in collaboration with the Department of Science and
Technology – Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST – TAPI). #CVecilles
