Just as academics play an important role in the improvement of teaching and learning materials to keep abreast with industry needs, national higher educational standards, and manpower goals, research managers ensure that there is continuity, relevancy, and impact of the research efforts carried out by researchers whether in the higher education arena or research institutions for the betterment of our community, the environment and the future generation.
