Applied research refers to scientific study and research that seeks to solve practical problems. Applied research is used to find solutions to everyday problems, cure illness, and develop innovative technologies. Psychologists working in human factors or industrial/organizational fields often do this type of research.
Pure research tries to understand what something is and how it works. It is the pursuit of knowledge without an expectation of an immediate reward. In contrast, applied research uses existing knowledge to create new products or processes. The third component of R&D, development activities, pursues improvements in existing products and processes.
