In 2014, the University Research Office (URO) as the university research management center of Tarlac State University had been involved in the conduct of various research activities like publication, dissemination of research outputs in international conferences and establishment of linkages with other line agencies. Hosted various meetings among college research chairs and conducted agenda setting and research capability building seminars among the different colleges. In order to revitalize the conduct of research among colleges, the office also spearheaded the conduct of college research colloquia and in house reviews for proposal and completed researches, respectively.
Various proposals have been developed for submission to funding agencies particularly to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and one major project with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) was completed.
With the advent of the new administration, it was just fitting that the research themes were also reviewed such that the research programs/work groups, are organized according to the following thrusts:
1. Environment and Climate Change Mitigation
2. Food, Natural Products and Health Research
3. Sustainability Technology
4. Public Policy and Social Praxis
5. Development and Validation of Softwares Extended to LGUs and other Agencies
6. Studies on Gender and the Disadvantaged
The accomplishments of the unit is shown and summarized below:
