Commissioned Research

Commissioned research means research work that is outsourced to an external party or parties based on topics identified by ISRA RMC. The commissioned research could be done either in a collaborative form (known as commissioned collaborative), whereby ISRA RMC researchers or practitioners may also be involved in the research, or could be conducted exclusively by the commissioned researcher(s).
