Hi Chuck,
The relationship between research and design can be expressed simply:
'The underlying purpose of research is to provide information for use in design activity"
Best wishes,
Terry

<snip> One can
interpret a given situation through research but can not express it
(synthesize a phenomenally accessible representation of it) without
designing and producing something (research document, message, artifact,
service, etc.) Research is a matter of gaining knowledge through
interpretation. Designing anything is a matter of expressing some situated
interpretion(s). <endsnip>
