Structure of a Research Proposal, revisited
The development of a research project is always a remarkable and extraordinary enterprise, whereby the organization and structure of the plan of action is a crucial step toward its construction, development, implementation, and success. A 14-step revisited proposal for the structure of a research project is presented in this paper, which I believe responds to the more general needs of novice researchers.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL-PROCEDURE AND COMPONENTS
IJRAS, 2019
A research proposal is a pre-written document which gives an overview of the research tactics. It gives a general idea of the objectives to be achieved and the ways and means to achieve it. Writing research proposal is however a challenging feat. Due to lack of clear guidance from any source, there are many substandard research proposals which are placed before evaluation committee. The researcher came across various people who had no clear understanding of the process and structure of research proposal or research design. This problem has led the researcher to develop a framework to guide the prospective researchers in framing their research design based on the following research questions.1) what is the procedure of writing the research proposal 2) what are the components of the research proposal.So, to give a clear picture about the problem the paper is divided into two parts I) Procedure of writing the research proposal II) Components of the research proposal. The procedure for writing the research proposal is discussed with regards to: 1) Identifying the problem 2) Deciding on the topic 3) Deciding the locale of study 4) Deciding on the data needs 5) Planning the source of data collection 6) Plotting down ways to collect data 7) Identifying methods for analyzing data collection 8) Establishing a basis for designing the Proposal. While the components of research proposal are discussed with regards to : 1) Cover page 2) Abstract 3) Keywords 4) Introduction 5) Review of literature 6) Statement of problem 7) Objectives of the study 8) Hypothesis of the study 9) Period of study 10) Methodology 11) Data analysis 12) Limitation of the study 13) Chapter framework 14) References 15) Appendices.
Guidelines for preparing research proposals
Beginnings (American Holistic Nurses' Association), 2006
Each application should have one Principal investigator (PI). A Co-PI can be named by the PI and is someone making a major contribution to a project. The Co-Principal Investigator is an individual that the PI relies on to assume responsibilities above those of other co-investigators, and during absences. A Co-Investigator is someone making a significant contribution to a project. Co-PI and/or all Co-investigators should review the proposal and indicate their agreement to serve by signing on the cover page next to their names. The following is a list of items that should be covered in a research proposal, and the recommended length of each section. Sections 1through 6 should not exceed 10-13pages.
Research Proposal-A Procedural Analysis
2016
Proposal writing stifles the creative process necessary to conduct good research The research proposal is a detailed description of how the study will be conducted that includes the study title and researcher names, statement of the research problem and research purpose, review of relevant literature, and the research question(s) or hypothesis(es). The proposal also includes a formal description of the procedure to be used in the study that includes the information or variables to be gathered, the participants of the study and potential benefits or risks, the design and procedure for gathering data, what data gathering method(s) will be used, and how the data will be analyzed. The research proposal can be envisaged as the process to plan and to give structure to the prospective research with the final aim of increasing the validity of the research. It is therefore a written submission to spell out in a logic format the nature of the design and the means and strategies that are going...
Examinining The Key Issues and Aspects Integral to Writing of a Research Proposal
2023
A research proposal is a serious statement that addresses a researcher’s intent to conduct a study on a phenomenon and a plan about how to perform the research. Students usually undertake research under the guidance of a supervisor from faculty in tandem with assistance and supervision of other faculty members. Thus, the proposal should be a clear statement of intent that aims at elucidating the plan of research to make it feasible and acceptable for all parties concerned. The most essential characteristic of a research proposal is that it should be sufficient to present the researcher’s idea or question and expected outcomes with clarity and definition (the what). It should also make a case for the reason the researcher’s focus of study is significant and the value that it will bring to the discipline under study (the why).
Writing a research proposal is the first step for a research project. Before you can work on your research, it must be approved, whether that is by a professor, thesis advisor, or supervisor. It is essential to make your proposal as strong as possible; if your proposal is denied, you may not get the funding you need or may not get to progress in graduate school. Present your proposal clearly, effectively, and persuasively. The specific requirements for a proposal vary depending on the grant, program, or degree you are writing it for-make sure to always cross reference your proposal with its provided guidelines. However, most research proposals tend to include the same key parts.
How to Write a Research Proposal
Langley, BC: Trinity Western University. …, 2002
Most students and beginning researchers do not fully understand what a research proposal means, nor do they understand its importance. To put it bluntly, one's research is only as a good as one's proposal. An ill--conceived proposal dooms the project even if it somehow gets through the Thesis Supervisory Committee. A high quality proposal, on the other hand, not only promises success for the project, but also impresses your Thesis Committee about your potential as a researcher.
