Here is some info about it:

You probably need to train a few skills. |

quick note, Do you plan to use the datacores for yourself or farm them to sell? if you prefer to farm for sell it's really not worth it.

R&D Agents aren't there for missions. The only missions they offer are a once per day 'fetch me a few hundred veldspar'.
Once you have the required science skills, you can ask them to research for you. It generates around about 1 data core per day per agent for L4 agents (L1 far lower). This used to be good income, several years ago. It's no longer such. |

also if you need datacores make an alt for FW and get from their lp store the datacores.. much faster and easier and you get to pvp bit.

Factional warfare, as in lowsec PVP on behalf of your chosen faction. Fighting each other for glory, territory and ISK.
Any faction, depending which data cores you want. And it's just from factional warfare missions, not regular missions |

The trick with R&D Agents is to gain access to level 4 and work more than one agent. Gaining access to R&D Agents is a long and laborious process. Along with training up various Science skills, both Corporation and Faction standing must be gained for access.
Long ago before Soundwave & Co tried to kill off PvE content, R&D Agents was a very good source of passive income. They are still viable for that but in my opinion only after you have established ISK income from a different source. The reason for that is it now costs ISK along with the Research Points to collect Data Cores from R&D Agents. To actually make any ISK from the sale of Data Cores, it's best to let the Research Points build up in order to collect a large amount of Data Cores to place in Market.
As for the R&D Agent missions, yeah they offer a Trade mission every 24 hours which when completed will double the amount of Research Points generated for that day. Also after 16 of those missions are completed, you'll be offered a Storyline mission.
I have 5 R&D Agents working for me which I haven't checked for a very long time. Thanks for reminding me about them.

I have about 300k RD points, harvested them right before the change, and they've been accumulating for most of the time since, may have been subbed for a bit. not sure if I have to go start them up again or if it automatically does that?

I would check the Research Points balance listed in the journal and then after Downtime re-check it again. There should be an increase in the amount of RP's.
If not then just initiate convo with the various R&D Agents (without actually visiting them) which will cause the Research Points to start accumulating again.. Of course doing that will also cause the R&D Agents to start offering their 24 hr trade missions again. Ignoring those mission offers will cause the mission notices to cease.

Well, that's how it was for me when I was un-subbed for a couple months a few yrs ago.
Hopefully that info is still correct. If not then definitely let me know.
Good luck.

With the right skill plan, some mission running for Event Agents to quickly gain Faction standing followed with some R&D Corp Agent missions, you can actually have some R&D Agents working for you in no time at all.
Please accept my apology, last thing I want to do is discourage players from participating in this type of game content.

I am not discouraged at all my friend! I am just seeing I am still a little ways away from doing this. I will continue grinding my level 1 distribution and security missions to get standings. :) |

the numbers I pulled from evemon yesterday suggest I have been gaining RP since, and Evemon's numbers today are within 1 point of my current research, roughly 70 points higher than yesterday.
also at the daily rate I've been getting RP for 805 days (2.21 years), so I really can't say what I've done over that time span with specific regards to said agents. I do know my account with those skills was unsubbed for roughly 6 months in 2014

to use R&D agents, you have to both have the necessary science skills for that agent which you can find by clicking on the agents info, and the appropiate standing with that agents corp. lv1 should be fairly easy, just nee to buy the skillbooks and train them to at least lv1 and have a 1.0 standing. |

It really is pointless to gather datacores from research agents. Faction warfare LP stores are the primary source.
I've got a few years worth of research points accumulated since the patch that made research agents sell datacores for 10,000 ISK. Just not worth my time to go and collect the datacores.
