Research Proposal A research proposal is a document in which you outline the case for undertaking the research project, your dissertation or thesis, and present your plans for carrying out the work. It is needed to persuade supervisors and other stakeholders of the value of the research and the likelihood that it will successfully be able to answer the research questions.
Writing a Research Proposal Your research proposal may be a part of your dissertation, submitted in advance, or submitted as a separate piece of work. Whether or not you are required to submit a research proposal before your dissertation, it is good practice to summarize what you plan to do, and why, before you start as it will help to keep your research on track.
Research Proposal A research proposal contains: A title An introduction outlining the topic and questions for investigation, as well as a brief literature review and theoretical framework. A detailed strategy explaining what the research methods are, what data will be collected and how access to data sources will be obtained. A realistic timetable for completion, showing key milestones and when they will be accomplished. Limitations of the proposed research. A bibliography of references consulted to-date on the topic.
Identifying your Topic The first step in any research is to identify the topic of interest. Think about which areas have most interested you in your studies to date. What you would most like to explore.
Defining your Research Questions
Once you have identified your field of interest, you can then start to identify one or more research questions to answer. Again, a narrow question that you can research in detail is better than a broad one that you will not be able to cover in full. Your research question(s) should be ones that have not been fully answered in previous research so that you are adding to the literature.
Choosing a Title
Once you have a topic, and research question(s), then you can decide on a title, which should broadly cover your research question(s) and summarize what you are going to do. Using your Supervisor You
can and should use your dissertation supervisor as a sounding board as you develop your thinking. It’s usually better to ask for a meeting to discuss your ideas, rather than trying to have a discussion by email.
Outline Methodology
The broad approach that you plan to take and why, whether qualitative, quantitative, or a mixture of both. Some idea of what exactly you plan to do within that approach: your study population, the experimental techniques that you’ll use, such as questionnaires, interviews, or both, again with good academic reasons for your choice; Any weaknesses in your planned approach, and how you plan to overcome them; How you will analyze the results, with good academic reasons for your selections.
