Research Secondment

Description
Gives you more funding to play with for your research efforts.



Cost
?? - You can use any research for this, but each time you use a research it must be a different RESEARCH AREA (algorithms, materials or physics) or FUNDAMENTALNESS (minor, major or fundamental), or both. This mean you can research this project a maximum of nine times.

Impact
The increased experience from your staff's research secondments pays off thanks to the network of contacts they create; when an agency assigns $1m to Research, each level of this research increases that payment by $100,000 for each level of this research you have unlocked. The first MAJOR or FUNDAMENTAL research you spend on this project also increases the payment by a further $100,000 so with heavy investment you could conceivably receive $2m research per $1m invested

Future Research
The Research Secondment is more of an idea than a technology; it doesn't lead to any more advanced research
