I have 8.3 effective standings for a research agent , and i can`t use it ... I have high faction standings , so i don`t really get it why am i not allowed to open a research . He is telling me to "talk with one of his subordinates" , though he only needs 6.00 standings .
Any ideas why is that and what can i do ? I don`t have maximum of agents , so this isn`t the problem ...

Research agents are unique. You have to have that standing with their corp and faction.
Quote: To use a research agent you need to have a personal standing with that agent's corporation specifically, in addition to the normal faction or corp standings - the extra standings required for the R&D corp is to prevent you grinding up faction standings with eg: Republic Fleet, then starting research with a Boundless Creation R&D agent. Remember, this must be your own personal standing with the R&D corp whose agent you want to interact with. The required standing level is documented in the agent info tab of the agent's details.

Also most research agents are in corps who usually only have courier missions to run. Getting good R&D agents will take a while.

Check to see if you have the appropriate research skill to level 1, e.g. if you want to research laser physics you must have laser physics skilled to level 1.

Also it has to be your base standing. You cannot take your connections modified standing into account.

Not true at all.

Doing R&D agents almost always trip up newbies and non-industrialists. ... and CCP's wording doesn't make it easily clear and explicit.
Example for a L4 R&D agent :
"Your effective personal standings must be 4.80 or higher toward this agent's corporation in order to use this agent, as well as an effective personal standing of 6.80 or higher toward this agent, its faction, or its corporation in order to use this agent's services."
There are 2 conditions to fulfill - 1) your MINIMUM standings to agent's corp 2) your QUALIFYING standings, which can be taken from EITHER agent, agent's corp or agent's faction standings.
If you have fulfilled the above and STILL can't do any research, do a re-login.

Or if it shows you have exactly the min standings needed you might have to do another mission. The standing display is rounded so that 4.8 might just actually be 4.7999999999999 which isn't 4.8 even though it shows at 4.8 in the standings.

I actually just had a similar problem....I finally earned the standings and they didn't appear to 'take hold' for a couple hours! I ended up logging, waiting for a full downtime, and THEN I was able to start doing research. Until then, the agent rebuffed me with "you aren't worth my time!" and other annoyances.
