Research Project
A Research Project is a project that systematically investigates research questions to generate new knowledge or validate existing knowledge through scientific methods.
- AKA: Research Study, Research Investigation, Research Endeavor, Scientific Project.
- Context:
- It can typically gather Research Evidence through designed experiments.
- It can typically follow Research Methodology through systematic approaches.
- It can typically produce Research Findings through data analysis.
- It can typically generate Research Publications through peer review processes.
- It can typically address Research Questions through hypothesis testing.
- ...
- It can often be described by a Research Project Plan.
- It can often involve Research Data Analysis.
- It can often require Research Ethics Approval through institutional review boards.
- It can often create Research Datasets through data collection.
- It can often develop Research Tools through methodology innovation.
- It can often establish Research Collaborations through partnership agreements.
- ...
- It can range from being a Basic Research Project to being an Applied Research Project, depending on its research purpose.
- It can range from being a Quantitative Research Project to being a Qualitative Research Project, depending on its research methodology type.
- It can range from being a Single-Investigator Research Project to being a Multi-Institutional Research Project, depending on its research collaboration scale.
- It can range from being a Short-Term Research Project to being a Long-Term Research Project, depending on its research duration.
- It can range from being a Small Research Project to being a Large Research Project, depending on its research scope.
- It can range from being a Theoretical Research Project to being an Empirical Research Project, depending on its research approach.
- It can range from being a Exploratory Research Project to being a Confirmatory Research Project, depending on its research objective type.
- ...
- It can be funded through a Research Project Funding Proposal.
- It can utilize Research Infrastructure through laboratory access.
- It can employ Research Personnel through staffing plans.
- It can maintain Research Documentation through research notebooks.
- It can ensure Research Reproducibility through open science practices.
- It can achieve Research Impact through knowledge dissemination.
- It can undergo Research Peer Review through academic evaluation.
- It can contribute to Research Fields through knowledge advancement.
- It can comply with Research Regulations through compliance frameworks.
- It can manage Research Data through data management plans.

- Academic Research Projects, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Research Programs, which are ongoing initiatives without defined endpoints.
- Research Services, which provide research support without specific research questions.
- Literature Reviews, which synthesize existing knowledge without original investigation.
- Research Infrastructure, which enables but does not constitute research projects.
- Research Proposals, which plan but are not yet active research projects.

- … It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects, or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, etc.
