Once you have chosen a field, the agent will tell you how happy they are to be working with you. From this point on, until you terminate research with this agent, the agent will add daily Research Points to your account. These points will accrue whether you are logged on or not. | Once you have chosen a field, the agent will tell you how happy they are to be working with you.

At some point after you start the research, usually within a few days, you will receive an email communication from the agent. They will be in need of some service that you will be asked to provide. This is usually either a short courier run to another station, or supplying the agent with a small amount of Tritanium (The amount varies by agent level). Completion of a mission will add one day's worth of bonus Research Points to your account. | At some point after you start the research, usually within a few days, you will receive an email communication from the agent.

From then on, you will receive similar messages from the agent on a regular basis. But even if you do not receive a message, a new mission will be available from the agent each day. Acceptance of these missions is optional. The agent might warn you that "research will halt", but that warning can be ignored.

If you need to cancel research with an agent ... for example, if you are going to use a jump clone and will be wanting to do research in some other region of EVE ... all you need to do is talk to the agent and press the "Cancel" button.
