Design and Development of RDI Monitoring System of RSU’s Funded Research Projects

This paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of the REDI Monitoring System, a web-based platform aimed at enhancing the management and monitoring of funded research projects at Romblon State University (RSU). The system provides streamlined functionalities for proposal creation, submission, collaborator management, and administrative oversight, tailored to the needs of both students and faculty members. The development process adhered to established software engineering standards to ensure robustness and usability. A comprehensive testing phase was conducted with 50 participants, including students and faculty, following the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 software testing framework. Results demonstrated high user satisfaction, with over 90% of participants finding the system user-friendly and reliable. Minor areas for improvement were identified in notification delivery and interface responsiveness for faculty users. The REDI Monitoring System presents an effective and efficient solution that supports RSU’s research administration processes, fostering greater collaboration and transparency in funded research activities.
