Help! NIOKR

[E. Wayles Browne]

I am translating diplomas of graduates of the Moskovskii institut
stali i splavov. On the list of courses, I find: Ekonomika i
organizatsiia NIOKR, Kursovoi proekt po ekonomike i organizatsii
NIOKR. The graduates themselves do not recall exactly what NIOKR
is. Can any reader help?
Thank you,
