In a move to ensure transparency and maximize the impact of research endeavors, Capiz State University (CAPSU) Research, Development, and Extension office conducted a monitoring and evaluation activity for the externally funded research projects on July 10, 2024, at the CAPSU Central Boardroom, Roxas City, Capiz.
The activity gathered key university faculty researchers involved in externally funded research projects. Participants included the University Research Director, Dr. Leo Andrew B. Biclar; Asso. Prof. Jocelyn S. Legaspi, Extension Director; Research Center Directors, and project/study leaders of ongoing research projects funded by external grants.
“This monitoring activity serves a crucial role in ensuring that externally funded research projects at CAPSU are progressing as planned and delivering valuable outcomes,” shared the University Research Director in a statement.
