The conflicts and contradictions on transgenic products are increasing day by day. Under such situation, it seems that providing documentation on the lack of side effects of these products and upgrading scientific knowledge will lead the discussion of transgenic products to a logical path, and the only way to resolve these inconsistencies is the further research on transgenic products. In this regard, the present study was conducted on the basis of qualitative paradigm and using qualitative content analysis to analyze the researchers' views on the application of technology of genetically modified crops in Iranian agricultural research centers. In order to collect the data, a semi-structured interview method with 23 researchers (based on theoretical saturation criterion) was used with purposeful sampling and snowball sampling. According to the findings of this research, researchers' viewpoints on the use of transgenic technology was about three themes, "The individual capability of activity in two institutions of the university and research center", "The impact technology of transgenic products on occupational development and economic development of the country" and "The impact of political and social currents on the individual".
