Applied Research
(redirected from research)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Applied Research
Research conducted for a specific, often commercial, purpose. That is, applied research is the opposite of research for its own sake. One may conduct applied research on how to make a more efficient light bulb; this would contrast with research on how electricity works in an ideal universe. See also: Research and Development.
