The deadline for RLC applications are usually due around the beginning of every academic semester. Submit the following documents in pdf to TALAS under the ‘Request for RLC/CWLC’ option by the deadline set by the Institute’s DDRE:

• Signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) of the project
• Signed progress/final report (UP Form 67-C1d​)* or publications
• Updated LIB (esp. re-aligned budget)
• Justification letter (if total RLC exceeds 6 units)

*No need for the director’s signature, as the IB admin officer will facilitate the signature, but make sure to sign the form. The admin officer will then inform you if there are major concerns with your application.

Faculty members who are project leaders (supervising at least 1 researcher) may apply for 3 units of RLC per project. Only projects with a MOA will be considered as a project for RLC purposes.

Faculty members may apply for a maximum of 3 units of RLC through Personally Funded Projects. New faculty members may apply for 3 units of RLC with ‘submission of a project proposal’ as target deliverables [see below for IB and CS Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for Personally Funded Projects]. All personally funded projects must include a project contract.

For more information, you may read the tutorial materials posted on the TALAS Homepage or contact TALAS directly.
