2. INNOVATION Project:2
1This should be put in a separate sheet and need to include the title, Investigators name, title and address, Department,
College, Month and year
2Keep the title of the project short and simple. The title should clearly describe the basic objectives of the proposed project and
3Give a short summary, maximum 400 words, of the proposed project, sufficiently informative for other audiences who are not
necessarily in your field of expertise. This summary should contain a problem statement of the project, followed by the
objectives and a brief description of how these will be accomplished, with expected results

4. Innovation and/or Research Work to date (if any)4
4-List all your major technologies transferred and/or research works, especially those related to your proposed Innovation
project. Also give all information available about articles in press, in particular to which journal they have been submitted)
- Describe ongoing work at your institution related to technology development or research: provide information about the
technological or scientific work at your institution in the area of the proposed INNOVATION project; also mention any present or
planned cooperative Innovation project or research with other institutions
5Discuss the historical development of events regarding the specific Technology you intend to transfer. Describe basic
assumptions/concerns that initiated you to develop and transfer this technology. Also include information on the likely
contribution of the technology in solving the pressing problems of the community and its contribution to knowledge or practice
that the INNOVATION project rely on in current debate/theory.
6Statethe specific (short-term) objectives of the project and how they relate to the general (long-term) objectives and the
questions that the project will attempt to answer and/or the gaps that the project will attempt to fill
