I'd like to express "request them to conduct a survey again" using a noun instead of "to conduct".

Would it be something like "request them follow-up conduct of a survey"?
Native English speakers don't say "reconduct", do they? :?:

Try: "...request that they re-run the survey."

Why?

The 'conduct' of an interview is the way it's conducted, so you simply can't request it. You could request a re-run* of the interview process. ;-)

Thank you, bhaisahab and BobK.
It is okay to say "request a re-run of the survey"?
Because I'd like to use "re-run" (or something) as a noun and with "survey".

Also, I'm not still sure about the usage of "conduct" as a noun.
Could anyone please tell me example sentences of "conduct" as a noun, about for example conducting clinical studies?

'The UN observers were not satisfied with the conduct of the election.'
