Research Proposal Example Tagalog

1. System Overview & Objectives

• Purpose: This production-ready spreadsheet framework provides a standardized operational tracking matrix for academic, institutional, and grant-funded research proposals in the Philippine context (written with Tagalog operational descriptors and English statutory terminology). It tracks proposals from ideation and ethics review to final funding allocation and project implementation.
• Operational Scope: Manages researcher details, institutional departments, funding agencies, research thematic areas (e.g., Agham Panlipunan, Teknolohiya at Inobasyon), budgetary breakdowns in Philippine Pesos (PHP), ethical clearance milestones, and execution status.
• Update Cadence: Weekly updates by the Research Management Office (RMO) or Department Research Coordinators, with monthly financial variance reviews.

2. Master Data Spreadsheet Table (PRIMARY EXPORT SHEET)

3. Pre-Built Formulas & Calculation Logic

Target cell assumptions: Data spans rows 2 to 15. Column layout aligns with Section 2 (Col A: ID, B: Date, C: Entity, D: Category, E: Description, F: Units, G: Rate, H: Subtotal, I: Tax/Disc, J: Net Total, K: Status, L: Owner, M: Notes).

4. Data Dictionary & Dropdown Validation Rules

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

Conditional Formatting Rule Application (Excel/Sheets):

• Green Trigger: Apply soft green fill (#D4EDDA) when KPI meets optimal performance parameters.
• Amber Trigger: Apply soft yellow/amber fill (#FFF3CD) when KPI requires administrative monitoring.
• Red Trigger: Apply soft red fill (#F8D7DA) when KPI breaches acceptable operational thresholds.

6. Setup & Export Guide for Excel & Google Sheets

1. CSV Export Preparation:
   • Copy the markdown table data from Section 2 (Master Data Spreadsheet Table) exactly as structured.
   • Paste the data into a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad or TextEdit) and save the file as research_proposal_tagalog.csv with UTF-8 encoding.
2. Importing into Microsoft Excel:
   • Open Microsoft Excel, navigate to the Data tab, select Get Data > From File > From Text/CSV.
   • Choose research_proposal_tagalog.csv, verify that the delimiter is set to Comma, and ensure File Origin is UTF-8. Click Load.
3. Importing into Google Sheets:
   • Open Google Sheets, create a new blank spreadsheet.
   • Click File > Import > Upload, and select your research_proposal_tagalog.csv file.
   • Set separator type to Comma and ensure "Convert text to numbers, dates, and formulas" is checked. Click Import data.
4. Applying Formulas and Formatting:
   • Insert the formulas from Section 3 into their corresponding cells (e.g., cell H2 for =F2*G2, dragging down to row 15).
   • Format columns Rate, Subtotal, Tax/Disc, and Net Total as Philippine Peso currency (₱#,##0.00).
5. Setting up Dropdowns (Data Validation):
   • Highlight range D2:D15, go to Data > Data Validation, select List of items, and input: Agham Panlipunan, Teknolohiya at Inobasyon, Edukasyon, Kalusugan, Agrikultura, Kalikasan, Ekonomiya, Inhinyeriya.
   • Highlight range K2:K15, go to Data > Data Validation, select List of items, and input: Aprubado, Isinasagawa, Rebyu, Tapos na, Tinanggihan.
6. Final Saving:
   • Save your workbook as an .xlsx file for enterprise distribution or maintain it natively in Google Drive.
