The vital role of research is to advance and refine knowledge and provide solutions to problems facing society at local and international levels. It is in this contention that TAEC established the department of Research and Development to enhance implementation of the research culture in nuclear and radiation technology in the country. The overall objective is to create an innovative contribution of nuclear technology applications by doing researches in various under-researched areas to stimulate the Tanzanian economy and the world. The department is responsible for organizing, soliciting and administering research funds from donor, internal and external grants and handling of researches, projects, innovation and handling training programs in nuclear and radiation technology. It is for this reason TAEC maintains several nuclear analytical laboratories that support research activities and provide training to various stakeholders. Various research proposals and projects are encouraged to augment national priorities in agriculture, livestock development, natural resources, human health, nutrition and environment, taking into consideration available human and other resources important areas.
