Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ron's research is programmatic because he has built on his initial study with a second study and now wants to incorporate the results from both studies into a third study. This type of research is often referred to as "programmatic research" because it is conducted with a long-term plan in mind and builds on previous studies to create a cohesive research program.
