B. Evaluation of Detailed

Research Proposals

The Research and Development Sub-Committee (RDSC)

reviews the detailed research proposals to determine whichproposals meet the requirements enumerated above.

The evaluation of proposals shall be done by sub-groups ofthe Ethics and Research Management composed of abiostatistician/epidemiologist and 2 content experts.Representative from the PCHRD may join these sub-committees in any stage of the evaluation process. Thefollowing criteria may be adopted in project evaluationprocess.


6/17

1. Merit/Urgency Need of the Project The projects research finding should contribute to the broadening of existing

knowledge in the field of science under investigation. Likewise, the projectshould provide an immediate solution to an urgent health problem in theregion.

2. Adequacy, Clarity and Attainability of the Objectives

The objectives of the proposed project should meet the purpose of the study.They should be phrased clearly-unambiguously and very specificallyleavingno doubt as to what has to be measured. They should be expressed inmeasurable terms.

3. Soundness of Methodological Design and Procedures as Related to

Objectives The methodology and procedures should meet scientific standards. The

sampling design, methods of data gathering, control of variables, experimentaldesign and statistical treatment should be given attention.


7/17

4. Workability of Task Schedules Based on Methodology The project should be workable considering existing constraints in laboratory

equipment, technical know-how and manpower conditions.

5. Capability and Availability of Researcher and Institutional Support The proponent record should show potential; for success in the proposed

research undertaking. He/she must possess technical knowledge and/or skill

necessary for the accomplishment of desired project objectives. In addition,the institution with which the proponent is affiliated should be committed toprovide the proponent with technical/laboratory facilities and administrativesupport (i.e. Accounting and Auditing Services).

Based on selected criteria, CRHRDC can also rank approved proposals

for CRHRDC RRF funding using the attached matrix.
