==Definitions==
*1 : put to [[practical]] use <applied art>; especially : applying general principles to solve definite [[problems]] <applied sciences>
*2 : [[work]]ing in an applied science <an applied physicist>
==Applied Research==
'''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==
'''Applied''' science is the application of [[scientific]] [[knowledge]] transferred into a [[physical]] [[environment]]. Examples include testing a [[theoretical]] [[model]] through the use of [[formal science]], or solving a [[practical]] problem through the use of [[natural science]].
Fields of engineering are closely related to applied sciences. Applied science is important for [[technology]] development. Its use in industrial settings is usually referred to as research and development (R&D).
Applied science differs from [[fundamental science]], which seeks to describe the most basic objects and [[forces]], having less emphasis on [[practical]] applications.
