The goal is to ensure the attainment of a middle-income status in the year 2025 for a better life for all Ethiopians. In these endeavors, it is intended that rural and poor communities should have access to innovations, attain food security, and have accelerated status of development. It is also planned to provide new and more effective solutions to problems than those utilised previously in the overall national development efforts. Given the broad nature of this theme, priority will be given to basic, applied, and development research in the areas of agriculture, environmental and natural resources, climate change, agro-pastoralism, veterinary medicine, land use management, and</p>\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-1-Description-1.pdf\"><u>For details, click here </u></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-I-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2017</u></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-I-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2016</u></a>', 'Theme I-PES', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '516-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-15 07:51:48', '2018-01-15 07:51:48', '', 516, 'http://localhost/?p=4440', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Basic sciences research lays the foundation for advancement in knowledge that leads applications of sciences to problem-solving, occasionally as a result of unexpected discoveries.  Pure basic sciences may also focus on refuting or supporting theories that explain how this world operates, what makes things happen, etc. It is the source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. Basic science research generates new ideas, principles and theories, which may not be immediately utilized but instead, form the basis to modern progress and development of different fields.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most scientific progress made so far are the results of findings obtained through basic or curiosity driven research. Today\'s computers for example, could not exist without the pure research in mathematics conducted over a century ago, for which there was no known practical application at that time. Pure research rarely helps practitioners directly with their everyday concerns. Nevertheless, it stimulates new ways of thinking about deviances that have the potential to revolutionize and dramatically improve how practitioners deal with a problem. A new idea or fundamental knowledge is not generated through pure basic sciences research alone but new knowledge could be built through it.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-6-Description.pdf\"><u>For Details, Click Here</u></a></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research Priorities 2017</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research Priorities 2016</u></a></p><p> </p>', 'Theme VI-BSR', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '521-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-15 08:39:36', '2018-01-15 08:39:36', '', 521, 'http://localhost/?p=4494', 0, 'revision', '', 0),
