Bus/Financial - Management / Project-based approach
Dutch term or phrase: Onderzoeksadministratie
This term is the title of my document and crops up constantly. I have yet to find a good solution.
Here are some hints in Dutch:
1. ....administratie van onderzoeken die op projectmatige wijze worden uitgevoerd. Omdat het niet handig is om deze naam c.q. beschrijving steeds te moeten gebruiken zal de administratie aangeduid worden als onderzoeksadministratie.
2. Het is nu eens te meer belangrijk dat de aanpak van een onderzoek en de wijze van vastlegging bij het vervaardigen van een analyse, maar ook de communicatie intern en extern, uniform plaatsvindt. In het werkoverleg van O&O, van 6 januari 2000 is daarom gekozen voor het opstellen van een onderzoeksadministratie.

agree  MoiraB: as you say, no proper context given to explain what kind of onderzoek is involved, but this seems likely. Possibly I'm influenced by the current job about the Algemene Rekenkamer, which is full of onderzoeken (audits here) ;-)

neutral  xxxjarry: I don't think so (audit = accountantscontrole or sometimes accountantsonderzoek). Research seems more likely here.

neutral  Alexander Schleber: Since "projects" are clearly mentioned, I agree fully with Jarry.

Explanation:
In your 2. example, this would fit best. Otherwise, maybe just plain old ´research administration´?
