12. Applied Research Problem vs Basic Research Problem Applied Research Basic Research aims to solve practical problems or address specific issues in real-world settings seeks to expand knowledge and understanding of natural phenomena, without immediate practical applications in mind.

13. Applied Research Problem vs Basic Research Problem Applied Research Basic Research The primary goal is to generate actionable knowledge or develop solutions that can be directly applied to improve practices, policies, or processes in various domains such as healthcare, education, or technology. The primary goal is to advance scientific knowledge, explore theoretical concepts, and uncover underlying principles across disciplines such as physics, biology, or psychology.

14. Applied Research Problem vs Basic Research Problem Applied Research Basic Research Applied research typically focuses on specific, practical problems or questions that have immediate relevance or significance in a particular context or industry. Basic research often has a broader scope and seeks to explore fundamental principles or phenomena that have theoretical significance and may not have immediate practical applications.

15. Applied Research Problem vs Basic Research Problem Applied Research Basic Research Research designs are often tailored to address practical concerns and may involve partnerships with stakeholders or end-users to ensure relevance and applicability. Research designs may involve theoretical modeling, experimental investigation, or observational studies aimed at uncovering underlying mechanisms or patterns in nature.

16. Applied Research Problem vs Basic Research Problem Applied Research Basic Research Applied research aims to produce tangible outcomes or solutions that can be implemented to address specific challenges or achieve practical goals. Basic research aims to generate new knowledge, theories, or conceptual frameworks that contribute to the collective understanding of a discipline or field of study.

17. Applied Research Problem vs Basic Research Problem Applied Research Basic Research These outcomes may include new technologies, interventions, policies, or strategies that have direct applications in real-world settings. The outcomes of basic research may include theoretical insights, empirical findings, or conceptual advances that lay the foundation for further investigation or practical applications in the future.
