applied science
Let an agent explain applied science by field, relationship to basic research, careers and routes from research to practice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain applied science by field, relationship to basic research, careers and routes from research to practice.
The use of scientific knowledge and methods to achieve practical goals, such as engineering, medicine, applied physics, applied seismology and applied hydrobiology, and the transfer of research into practice through technology transfer and implementation research.
What it is for: Solving practical problems with science.
It can be distinguish applied and basic research; find applied science fields and careers; understand technology transfer processes; find funding for applied research.
Distinguishing features
Practical goals
Builds on basic science
Often interdisciplinary
Leads to products and services
What it looks like
Not physical; seen in technologies, clinical practice, engineering projects and applied research.
How it is recognised
Research aimed at practical goals
Technology transfer offices
Basic research seeks understanding without a set application
