What is adaptive research?

Adaptive research involves iterative problem solving and decision-making, taking into account new information and the changing needs of the project. It incorporates continuous adjustment and refinement of research questions, methods, designs, and interventions based on emerging knowledge and feedback from stakeholders and participants. Adaptive research encourages flexibility and adaptability in the research process, allowing for real-time decision-making and adjustments based on ongoing learning. This helps ensure that research remains responsive, contextually relevant, and closely aligned with the dynamic nature of the research environment.
