Please, include improvements/challenges in capacity building of higher education and research, and the needs to further develop (Please note that this is a summary of Enclosure 1, Section k)
The Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Research Group at the Chemistry Department, UDSM was formed about five years ago after merging the analytical chemistry and environmental chemistry groups that previously existed in order to consolidate the efforts and improve research capacity as well as address the numerous challenges that were faced by the two groups.
The environmental chemistry group was formerly supported by the ISP (TAN: 02) in 2004 to 2008. This year, the Director, ISP invited the Chemistry Department to submit an application for consideration for the 2019-2021 grants. Hence, this grant application is submitted in response to that call. The research group at the Chemistry Department is composed of competent and capable staff that are ready to undertake the research activities. The qualified students to be engaged in the proposed activity are available. There is great need for further training as there are currently many institutions in the country that need chemists. The department has most of the equipment needed for conducting the activities. However, some equipment are defective or are missing and therefore some minor equipment and other facilities will be required to be purchased in order to successfully carry out the proposed activity.

The methods for chemical analyses will include planning, sampling, sample preparation/processing, identification and quantification of the organic and inorganic analytes (e.g., pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals, proteins, pharmaceuticals, aflatoxins, etc) in samples. Appropriate analytical methods will be developed and used. The development and application of appropriate analytical methods and techniques will be a key factor in the investigations. Emphasis will be placed on analytical quality assurance and control procedures to ensure reliability of the results. The developed methods will be validated using appropriate parameters. Standard methods will also be employed in the studies. The analytical quality assurance and control procedures will include use of high quality and analytical grade chemicals and standards, blank tests, recovery determinations, and determination of detection limits, limits of quantification, precision, accuracy, linearity and range of the methods, and other applicable procedures (European Commission, 2015). Qualitative and quantitative determination of the analytes will be carried out using appropriate techniques depending on the nature of the analytes, samples and other technical factors (Lugwisha et al., 2016; Mahugija et al., 2017; Mahugija and Njale, 2018; Mahugija and Sheikh, 2018). Generally, the analytical techniques will include gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), etc. Data analysis will be performed using different statistical methods depending on the nature of the data.
Various approaches will used to ensure wide dissemination of the research results including publications in high impact factor international and regional journals, conferences, workshops, symposia, seminars, meetings, media etc. To promote the use of research results by the government and society, meetings and discussions will be arranged as well as popular media and forums will be employed. In addition to the financial support expected from the ISP, funds will also be sought from other sources to ensure long-term stability of the research group activities. The research activities will be supported through various ways such as support for fellowships, exchange visits, instrumental analysis costs, provision of consumables (e.g. solvents, reagents and reference standards), field works and participating in conferences and outreach activities.

(j) Justification of budget items The budget items have been justified in Section 3d of the filled Grant Application Form.
(k) Background The Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Research Group at the Chemistry Department, UDSM was formed about five years ago after merging the analytical chemistry and environmental chemistry groups that previously existed in order to consolidate the efforts and improve research capacity as well as address the numerous challenges to be that were faced by the two groups such as low level of research funding, inadequate human resource base and inadequate infrastructure. The environmental chemistry group was formerly supported by the ISP (TAN: 02) in 2004 to 2008. This year, the Director, ISP invited the Chemistry Department to submit an application for consideration for the 2019-2021 grants. Hence, this grant application is submitted in response to that call. The research group at the Chemistry Department is composed of competent and capable staff with numerous specializations within the areas of analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry and related areas in chemistry that are ready to undertake the research activities. The qualified students to be engaged in the proposed activity are available. There is great need for further training as there are currently many institutions in the country that need chemists including the research institutions, universities, industries, Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority, Government Chemist Authority, Energy sector, mining industry, etc. The department has most of the equipment needed for conducting the activities. However, some equipment are defective or are missing and therefore some minor equipment and other facilities will be required to be purchased in order to successfully carry out the proposed activity. The specification of the minor equipment and other facilities to be purchased are detailed in the budget and its justification.
