RESEARCH TITLE: (the distinctive name given to the research proposal which describes the scope of work in specific, clear and concise terms.)

EXPLORATORY & FEASIBILITY RESEARCH ON A PROPOSED FEU UNITED NATIONS FUND FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS (UNFIP) ENVIRONMENT PROJECT

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: (an overview of the project, discussing the factors that lead to the conceptualization of the problem)

Needless to say, the environment threat has been an ongoing and worsening global concern. The United Nations and other worldwide/local agencies have been relentless in the pursuit of solutions wherever and whenever possible. For its part, Far Eastern University (FEU), has identified environment as research and action priorities. In view of this, the International Studies Department (IS) of FEU proposes to undertake an exploratory/feasibility study of an actual environment program that can be submitted for technical assistance & funding with the United Nations Office for Partnerships (UNOP) & United Nations Fund for International Partnerships (UNFIP), respectively. The source of funds will be United Nations Foundation (UNF), which houses the billionaire, Ted Turners, billion dollar donation.
