  PA-02-127: MENTORED QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Background The NIH is especially interested in increasing the number of scientists trained to conduct high-quality research that combines insights derived from, and cuts across, different scientific, technical, and biomedical areas.
Both the didactic and the research phases of an award period must be designed to develop the necessary knowledge and research skills in scientific areas relevant to the career goals of the candidate.
Research Plan Reviewers recognize that an individual with limited research experience is less likely to be able to prepare a research plan with the breadth and depth of that submitted by a more experienced investigator.

 PA-00-019: MENTORED RESEARCH SCIENTIST DEVELOPMENT AWARD (K01)
The proposed career development experience must be in a research area new to the applicant and/or one in which an additional supervised research experience will substantially add to the research capabilities of the applicant.
Research Development Support: The amount of research development support is not uniform across the NIH and is determined independently by each awarding component of the NIH.
Applicants for the Population Research K01 must be junior-level researchers with a research or health professional doctorate degree and must propose a mentored research program that will enhance their ability to conduct scientifically sophisticated studies in the field of population research.

 Scientific Research and Development Services
Sociological research analyzes the institutions and patterns of social behavior in society, and the results are used mainly by administrators to formulate policies.
The average for research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences was 39.0, while the average for research and development in the social sciences and humanities was only 34.6.
Research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences accounted for about 89 percent of the jobs; the rest were in research and development in the social sciences and humanities.

 Music Together - Research and Development
Basic research is the stereotypical "hardcore" scientific method approach that attempts to collect and interpret data with more or less rigorous objectivity.
Action research translates inquiries into actions in the real world which then generate more qualitative information, such as observing the rhythmic and tonal behaviors of children of various ages during a play-along experience.
Applied research takes knowledge, often gained from basic and action research, and applies it in the field to see what really happens (e.g.: children learn through active music making, so what happens when these particular children experience those particular songs with this teacher in that environment, etc.).

 Research for Development
In the past it was difficult to find out what research topics, projects, and programmes DFID was funding or had funded.
Researchers all over the world (and even DFID staff) had to rely on a network of personal contacts or inspired detective work to discover who was already working in a particular area, what was already known, and what lessons had been learned.
It is and will always be only one piece of the jigsaw, but it is a high-quality piece, as in order to have received DFID funding the research posted on R4D will have met strict criteria and quality standards in both formulation and execution.
