Research Extensions and Development
In 2006, with the start of the present administration headed by the University President, Dr. Priscilla C. Viuya, the Office of the Vice-President for Planning, Research, Extension and Training (VP-PRET) was under the helm of Dr. Brigido Corpuz. The offices under the VP-PRET were the Planning and Development Office (PDO), University Research Office (URO), University Extension Office (UEO), Office of the Alumni Affairs (OAA), Center for Tarlaqueño Studies (CTS), Institute of Local Government Administration (ILGA), and University Training Office (UTO).
On 15 February 2008, Dr. Glenard T. Madriaga was designated as the new Vice-President for PRET in lieu of the designation of Dr. Brigido Corpuz as Vice-President for Production. Moreover, the name of the office was changed to Vice President for Research, Extension and Development (VP-RED) when the Organizational Structure of TSU was revised and approved during the August 1, 2008 BOR Meeting. With the changes was the transfer of the PDO under the Office of the University President and the UTO to the Office of VP-Production. The rest of the offices were retained while new ones were attached namely the Gender and Development (GAD) and Intellectual Property Office (IPO).
The Vice President for Research Extension and Development focused on fulfilling the mandates of each of the attached office. Programs, projects and activities were planned and implemented that would accent the comparative advantage of the university. In fact, good reviews were reported by the University Planning Office on the accomplishments of offices under the VP-RED.

—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
