(Zaimoni: This records some working notes. This should be reformatted more conventionally at some point.)

Presumed: common C enumeration of projects with RESEARCH.DAT (96 projects).

Each research project's scientist-days remaining is stored in a little-endian word (low-order byte first). For realistic cases, the difference between signed word and unsigned word is irrelevant. 96 words i.e. 192 bytes.
Then each research project's scientists allocated is stored as a byte. 96 bytes.
Each base thus uses 288 bytes to represent the current research project state.

A zero for scientist-days merely means that the project is not actively being researched. It may have not been started, or have been completed.

Project names are elsewhere. Offsets are solely in hexadecimal for this iteration. The first offset is for scientist-days, the second is for number of scientists allocated.

From an "ask the machine" savegame, in order, for the first base:
