Careful: 'die Studie' (the study) is not the same as the English word 'study' in all of its meanings. 'Die Studie' is a scientific investigation, not the general act of learning or a subject studied at university.
Er nimmt an einer klinischen Studie für ein neues Medikament teil.
He is taking part in a clinical study for a new medication.
In a scientific context, a study is often 'durchgeführt' (conducted), 'veröffentlicht' (published), or 'beauftragt' (commissioned). The results of a study 'zeigen' (show) or 'belegen' (demonstrate/prove) something.

The phrase 'Laut einer Studie...' (According to a study...) is used very often to refer to scientific findings. It often appears at the beginning of the sentence, directly followed by the verb.

You can recognize the meaning 'künstlerischer Entwurf' (artistic draft/study) from context. If 'Maler' (painter), 'Zeichnung' (drawing), 'Museum' (museum), or 'Skizze' (sketch) is mentioned, this artistic meaning is usually intended.
Das Museum stellt einige seltene Studien des berühmten Malers aus.
The museum is exhibiting some rare studies by the famous painter.
research
'die Studie' and 'die Forschung' both belong to science and search for new knowledge. A 'Studie' is a specific investigation of a particular topic, often with data, questions, and results. 'Forschung' is the broader field or the activity of research as a whole. The words can be confused because a study can be part of research. In practice: you can read or conduct a 'Studie'; 'Forschung' more often describes scientific work in an entire field.
