Reasearch Project - TK

My project aims to gather information and create recommendations on a specific topic. The goal is to find out what has already been discovered in this areas, identify any relevant trends, and test any applicable hypotheses. The desired outcome is a set of recommendations based on the research conducted. For this project, I do have specific topics that I would like to be included in the research. I am sure of the direction I want to take and would require the contractor to include this within their research.
