'''Applied''' [[research]] is research accessing and using some part of the research communities' (the academy's) accumulated [[theories]], [[knowledge]], [[methods]], and [[techniques]], for a specific, often state, commercial, or client driven [[purpose]]. Applied research is often opposed to [[pure research]] in [[debates]] about research [[ideals]], programs, and projects.

Although it is impossible to generalize completely, Applied Research deals with practical problems and is generally [[empirical]]. Because applied research resides in the messy real world, strict research [[protocols]] must often be relaxed. For example, it may be impossible to use a [[random]] sample. Thus, [[transparency]] in the [[methodology]] is [[critical]]. Implications for [[interpretation]] of results brought about by relaxing a more or less strict [[canon]] of methodology should also be developed.

'''Applied''' science is the application of [[scientific]] [[knowledge]] transferred into a [[physical]] [[environment]]. Examples include testing a [[theoretical]] [[model]] through the use of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Secondary_Corpus#Formal_Sciences.5B34.5D formal science], or solving a [[practical]] problem through the use of [[natural science]].
