For details about room requirements please see Research (Room).

Research Screen
Selecting a Project

In the research screen, you can select a project from the available projects list.

Output

The output is determined by the the research you conduct. This can range from Illnesses over new Treatment Machines and Upgrades to whole new Rooms and even Training Courses for your hospitals.

Research Progress

Once a project has been started, you'll need a Doctor with a Research Qualification to carry out the work. They will contribute research to the project over time, based on their research skill.

Research is shared across the whole organisation, as are the discoveries you make. You can start a project in one hospital and then continue work on it in another hospital.

Green Light Fee

In order to start a research project you need to green light it first.

Start Project

To start a research project, either click on the research pod, or drop a researcher into the room.

Project Completion
Discoveries you have researched can be used across the whole organisation.

When a project is completed, researchers will look for work elsewhere, unless you kick off another project. As you make new discoveries, and travel to new parts of the county, your boffins will propose new areas for research. Keep your eyes peeled for new projects!

Research Points (RP)
Research Progress

You can speed up the research progress by assigning more doctors to your research rooms. The more doctors you want to take part in research the more Researcher's Desks you need to place in your research room.
