Re: "Study on" or "study of" something
A little more context would be helpful. Is 'study' used as a noun or a verb here?

Oh, sorry.
It is used as a noun here.
So,
1) we will conduct a study on something
2) we will conduct a study of something
By the way, is there any difference in the usage of the word when it is a noun or a verb?
Thank you.

Of appears to be far more common than on. I feel no difference in meaning between them.
The verbs takes a direct object: I am going to study the mating habits of beetles.
