Yes, that’s correct. It’s a company that conducts research (runs studies under contract) for another organization - often a pharmaceutical company or similar. Often the pay is a bit lower and turnover higher at these companies but they can be a good place to gain experience in a research lab, and if you stay for a while you can often move up quickly.
