R&D materials DOFF mission cooldown?

I just ran the 48 hour R&D materials DOFF mission and I can't run it again. Is there some sort of secondary cooldown on it similar to the cooldowns on the recruitment missions, like the Andorian DOFF recruitment at Starfleet Academy?

    I believe it is 24 hours.

    I'm not sure exactly how long it is, but it's definitely longer than 24 hours.

    It'd be nice if in this rush of making a user-friendly interface if they could have put in cooldowns for the academy missions.

    usually 36-48hrs per completion.

    It's running with the free recruitment timeframe instead of the 1k Dil timeframe for the "General Recruitment" mission.

    1k Dil/General Recruitment...20 hour completion with 96 hour CD (from start).
    free/Tac/Eng/Sci/Civ...48 hour completion with 96 hour CD (from start).

    R&D Assistance...48 hour completion with 96 hour CD (from start).

    I suspect - yet cannot prove - that the reason it operates under the longer cooldown is an attempt to get players to play Queued Events for their VR/UR Materials...

    Personally I've never understood why they have these cooldowns to begin with. If you want players to wait a certain amount of time before being able to do it again...just set the mission's runtime to that period.

    48h cooldown in my experience. I can only start it again 2-3 days after it completes.
