DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
 What is Basic Research? Research directed primarily towards
developing a new or fuller scientific
Basic Research knowledge or understanding of the
subject rather than the practical
application thereof

Oriented Basic
Free Basic Research Research

That which results from intellectual That which seeks new knowledge required for
curiosity aimed at proving the application purposes but which may of course
unknown which initially, may not have contribute to general scientific advancement
specific application thereof in the process
Reference: Revised Rules and Regulations on the implementation of
Section 24 of RA 2067 (Science Act of 1958), as amended by RA 3589
2nd National Research and Development Conference
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Why Basic Research?
• New knowledge generation
• Scientific discoveries
• Support to applied researches that are
conducted by the sectoral Councils
• Highlights the role of social sciences and the
arts/humanities in the world of the hard sciences
• Provides scientific and empirical evidence for
policymaking decisions
