• The best and most valuable
ingredient of a good research is the
researcher’s area of interest.
• Two things to consider concerning
the value of research in a particular
area of interest:
– Contribution in the field of knowledge or
literature
– Benefits to the users of the knowledge
generated
 Citing Benefits and
Beneficiaries
• List any academic beneficiaries
from the research and give details
on how they will benefit and how
the results of the proposed
research will be disseminated.
 Citing Benefits and
Beneficiaries
• Specific beneficiaries might be:
– Researchers in the investigator’s
immediate professional circle carrying
out similar or related research
– Researchers in other discipline
– Researchers in other academic
institutions
 Citing Benefits and
Beneficiaries
• Describe the relevance of the research
to its beneficiaries:
– Identify the potential academic impact of
the proposed work
– Show how the research will benefit other
researchers
– Identify whether the research will produce
data or materials of benefit to other
researchers
– Explain any collaboration with other
researchers and their role in the project
 Example
• A survey on the presidential
preference of the basic sectors
(farmers, fisherfolks, indigenous
people, laborers and urban poor)
in the 2016 elections.
