Research Development and Extension Manual

Our Vision

Research Development and Extension recognized for quality researches and relevant
extension services as its contribution to global competitiveness and character formation
of individuals and social transformation.

Our Mission

RDE shall generate new knowledge, verify and disseminate information in support to
quality instruction and responsive extension services to produce graduates equipped
with knowledge and skills, possessing high ethical standards prepared to compete in
the global environment and contribute to local and national development.

Goals

1. Establish a culture of Science and Technology environment to produce

knowledge-based products
2. Institutionalize research in the educational institution through a well-structured

that will be mutually beneficial to BIST and the partner communities

Objectives

Establishing research culture can be accomplished by the following objectives:

1. To create a research development and extension environment

1.1 Establishing the culture of research for the students, faculty and staff. This can be
accomplished by mind-setting the faculty towards a unified outlook, understanding
and commitment towards the institute’s mission and vision through a
series of internal consultations, re-orientations and seminars;
1.2 Compartmentalizing the Institute so that a specific group of interested faculty and
staff are groomed for research who shall spearhead the culture of research
development and extension in the academe. This can be accomplished by conducting
a descriptive and psychological mapping of the faculty for a clearer picture of who are
inclined to do research, development and extension and who are not and the constant
exposure to paper presentation and research and extension congress training and
related activities.

1.3 Introduction of effective RDE capability building programs. These shall be

conducted to capacitate and motivate the human resource to engage into S&T-based
research and development outputs.
1.4 Formulating RDE themes reflective of the expertise of the university faculty and
staff. This is reflected in the RDE thrusts and priorities of this section of the manual.

2. To establish of RDE Centers. This is reflected in the Management and Human

Resource of RDE based on the expertise of the Institute.

3. Intensify support for the development and protection of appropriate technology to

address local, national and global issues
An academic institution like BIST functions as a fountain of knowledge and part of its
mandate is to help improve the quality of life of the community. This is captured in it’s
vision as a science and technology institution. To respond to this mandate, the institute
needs to contribute to the development of appropriate technologies that will address
both local and global issues.

4. Facilitate the service areas’ adoption of developed technologies and intensify their
utilization of the institute’s expert services. Based on the it’s strategic plan for 2023-
2029, it is tasked to increase the economic productivity of the farmers, fisher folk and
business sectors, and enhance the capability of the educators and technology
providers in the service areas.

5. As an aspiring front-liner in Science- and Technology-based research and extension

in the province, BIST is mandated to facilitate the adoption of developed technologies to
communities and service areas as part of and on top of its extension activities. This can
be done through:
 5.1. Establish linkages with the end-users through MOU/MOA and
5.2 Form a mechanism to implement, monitor and sustain the efficient adoption of
technologies

Promulgation

The Research Development and Extension Office (RDE) Manual is promulgated

by the Bato Insttute of Science and Technology Board of Directors approved per
Resolution Number _______ dated ________ .

Application and Coverage

This manual will be used and apply to all BIST students, faculty and staff and
other stakeholders and collaborators of the administrative and academic units of the
Institution.

Legal Bases and Rationale

In the higher education sector Research Development and Extension play a very
important role in the search for sustainable development and growth of society
especially in the higher education sector. These functions are recognized as significant
input ensuring that the policies, programs and projects of higher education institutions
substantially meet the diverse and changing needs of their stakeholders and service
areas. Likewise, these are also acknowledged as accelerators in the generation and
transfer of knowledge and ideas to the community.

BIST as a Science and Technology Institution claimed to recognize with significant

inputs on Technology-based research and extension. The Institute nurtures a research
climate that aims to advance knowledge and develop new and breakthrough research
and part of its mandate to undertake research and extension services that collectively
and creatively address the development gaps in education, livelihood, environmental
management and good governance. Since research innovations are undertaken in an
academic setting, a project’s success is measured not only in terms of obtaining
desired results but also in learning and acquiring new knowledge.

Research Development and Extension is an inherent function of the Faculty of higher

education institutions, in addition to instruction and production. It is thus prudent that
instruction and research be reintegrated as one unit in order to streamline the entire
academic process. The following laws, rules and regulations served as the rationale
and legal bases of this Manual:
a. The 1987 Philippine Constitution, specifically Article XIV (Science and Technology)
b. The Philippine Development Plan (2023-2028)
c. The National Higher Education Research Agenda-2 (NHERA)
d. Republic Act No. 9261
e. Republic Act 9710 , the Magna Carta of Women
f. Section 4 (m) of Republic Act No. 8292 (Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997)
expressly mandates the governing boards of Universities and Colleges “to
establish research and extension centers where such will promote the development of
the latter.”
