Show that you understand the current state of research on your topic.
The length of a research proposal can vary quite a bit. A bachelor’s or master’s thesis proposal can be just a few pages, while proposals for PhD dissertations or research funding are usually much longer and more detailed. Your supervisor can help you determine the best length for your work.
One trick to get started is to think of your proposal’s structure as a shorter version of your thesis or dissertation , only without the results , conclusion and discussion sections.

Writing a research proposal can be quite challenging, but a good starting point could be to look at some examples. We’ve included a few for you below.
Like your dissertation or thesis, the proposal will usually have a title page that includes:
The first part of your proposal is the initial pitch for your project. Make sure it succinctly explains what you want to do and why.
Your introduction should:
To guide your introduction , include information about:

As you get started, it’s important to demonstrate that you’re familiar with the most important research on your topic. A strong literature review shows your reader that your project has a solid foundation in existing knowledge or theory. It also shows that you’re not simply repeating what other people have already done or said, but rather using existing research as a jumping-off point for your own.
In this section, share exactly how your project will contribute to ongoing conversations in the field by:
Following the literature review, restate your main objectives . This brings the focus back to your own project. Next, your research design or methodology section will describe your overall approach, and the practical steps you will take to answer your research questions.

To finish your proposal on a strong note, explore the potential implications of your research for your field. Emphasize again what you aim to contribute and why it matters.
For example, your results might have implications for:
Last but not least, your research proposal must include correct citations for every source you have used, compiled in a reference list . To create citations quickly and easily, you can use our free APA citation generator .
Some institutions or funders require a detailed timeline of the project, asking you to forecast what you will do at each stage and how long it may take. While not always required, be sure to check the requirements of your project.
Here’s an example schedule to help you get started. You can also download a template at the button below.

If you are applying for research funding, chances are you will have to include a detailed budget. This shows your estimates of how much each part of your project will cost.
Make sure to check what type of costs the funding body will agree to cover. For each item, include:
To determine your budget, think about:

Once you’ve decided on your research objectives , you need to explain them in your paper, at the end of your problem statement .
Keep your research objectives clear and concise, and use appropriate verbs to accurately convey the work that you will carry out for each one.
I will compare …
A research aim is a broad statement indicating the general purpose of your research project. It should appear in your introduction at the end of your problem statement , before your research objectives.
Research objectives are more specific than your research aim. They indicate the specific ways you’ll address the overarching aim.
A PhD, which is short for philosophiae doctor (doctor of philosophy in Latin), is the highest university degree that can be obtained. In a PhD, students spend 3–5 years writing a dissertation , which aims to make a significant, original contribution to current knowledge.
A PhD is intended to prepare students for a career as a researcher, whether that be in academia, the public sector, or the private sector.
A master’s is a 1- or 2-year graduate degree that can prepare you for a variety of careers.
All master’s involve graduate-level coursework. Some are research-intensive and intend to prepare students for further study in a PhD; these usually require their students to write a master’s thesis . Others focus on professional training for a specific career.
Critical thinking refers to the ability to evaluate information and to be aware of biases or assumptions, including your own.
Like information literacy , it involves evaluating arguments, identifying and solving problems in an objective and systematic way, and clearly communicating your ideas.
The best way to remember the difference between a research plan and a research proposal is that they have fundamentally different audiences. A research plan helps you, the researcher, organize your thoughts. On the other hand, a dissertation proposal or research proposal aims to convince others (e.g., a supervisor, a funding body, or a dissertation committee) that your research topic is relevant and worthy of being conducted.

JOHN KARANJA, PhD , Dr. John Karanja
research proposal is a comprehensive plan for a research project. It is a written description of a research plan that has to be undertaken. It determines the specific areas of research, states the purpose, scope, methodology, overall organization and limitations of the study. It also estimates its requirements for equipment (if necessary), finance and possible personnel.
S Vasantha Kumari
A research proposal is a written document specifying what a researcher intends to study and written before beginning the research which communicate research problem and proposed methods of solving it. A research proposal should be built on a concrete plan to conduct academic or scientific research. Types of proposals include internal, external, solicited, unsolicited, preproposals, continuation or non-competing and renewal or competing. Purpose of a Research Proposal is to convince the organization and readers .Characteristics need to be based on attention, interest, desire and action. Qualities of good proposal include specific scope, realistic nature, appropriate credentials, fulfill needs, beneficial, short and simple. Need for good preparation of proposal is vital in formulating proposal, assisting researcher and improving the research quality. Functions of Proposal consists to synthesize critical thinking, clarifies own thinking, refine proposed research, communicate ideas, open thinking and negotiation between researcher and involved parties. Basic composition of Proposal needs a beginning, middle and an end. Typical proposal format includes title, abstract, introduction, background, preliminary studies, research methodology, budget, curriculum vitae for principal investigators, appendix and human subjects. Proposal development strategies and writing tips includes use of outline , listings, visuals, forecasting , internal summaries , significant issues , sequencing components , review , edit , proof read , avoiding overkill point and errors. Proposals are turned down when problems are trivial, complex, nebulous, diffuse without clear aim, lack of sufficient evidence, imagination and originality.

Writing a research proposal for an early career researcher is one of the toughest part of research work. A research proposal is a blueprint to conduct research work and a well-structured proposal provides smooth functioning for the proposed research. Generally, young researchers face various types of problem in structuring a good research proposal in absence of proper guidelines, steps and strategies. This paper aims to provide a general guideline to the students and researchers to develop a wellstructured research proposal for the purpose of PhD/dissertation/research projects, etc. The concept and significance of a research proposal, how to start research work, the process of producing and appropriate sections for a good research proposal has been discussed in great detail.
S M Mukarram Jahan
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).

The goal of a research proposal is twofold: to present and justify the need to study a research problem and to present the practical ways in which the proposed study should be conducted. The design elements and procedures for conducting research are governed by standards of the predominant discipline in which the problem resides, therefore, the guidelines for research proposals are more exacting and less formal than a general project proposal. Research proposals contain extensive literature reviews. They must provide persuasive evidence that a need exists for the proposed study. In addition to providing a rationale, a proposal describes detailed methodology for conducting the research consistent with requirements of the professional or academic field and a statement on anticipated outcomes and benefits derived from the study's completion.
Krathwohl, David R. How to Prepare a Dissertation Proposal: Suggestions for Students in Education and the Social and Behavioral Sciences . Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 2005.
Your professor may assign the task of writing a research proposal for the following reasons:
A proposal should contain all the key elements involved in designing a completed research study, with sufficient information that allows readers to assess the validity and usefulness of your proposed study. The only elements missing from a research proposal are the findings of the study and your analysis of those findings. Finally, an effective proposal is judged on the quality of your writing and, therefore, it is important that your proposal is coherent, clear, and compelling.
Regardless of the research problem you are investigating and the methodology you choose, all research proposals must address the following questions:

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Beginning the Proposal Process
As with writing most college-level academic papers, research proposals are generally organized the same way throughout most social science disciplines. The text of proposals generally vary in length between ten and thirty-five pages, followed by the list of references. However, before you begin, read the assignment carefully and, if anything seems unclear, ask your professor whether there are any specific requirements for organizing and writing the proposal.
A good place to begin is to ask yourself a series of questions:
In general, a compelling research proposal should document your knowledge of the topic and demonstrate your enthusiasm for conducting the study. Approach it with the intention of leaving your readers feeling like, "Wow, that's an exciting idea and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!"
Most proposals should include the following sections:
I. Introduction
In the real world of higher education, a research proposal is most often written by scholars seeking grant funding for a research project or it's the first step in getting approval to write a doctoral dissertation. Even if this is just a course assignment, treat your introduction as the initial pitch of an idea based on a thorough examination of the significance of a research problem. After reading the introduction, your readers should not only have an understanding of what you want to do, but they should also be able to gain a sense of your passion for the topic and to be excited about the study's possible outcomes. Note that most proposals do not include an abstract [summary] before the introduction.
Think about your introduction as a narrative written in two to four paragraphs that succinctly answers the following four questions :
II. Background and Significance
This is where you explain the scope and context of your proposal and describe in detail why it's important. It can be melded into your introduction or you can create a separate section to help with the organization and narrative flow of your proposal. Approach writing this section with the thought that you can’t assume your readers will know as much about the research problem as you do. Note that this section is not an essay going over everything you have learned about the topic; instead, you must choose what is most relevant in explaining the aims of your research.
To that end, while there are no prescribed rules for establishing the significance of your proposed study, you should attempt to address some or all of the following:
III. Literature Review
Connected to the background and significance of your study is a section of your proposal devoted to a more deliberate review and synthesis of prior studies related to the research problem under investigation . The purpose here is to place your project within the larger whole of what is currently being explored, while at the same time, demonstrating to your readers that your work is original and innovative. Think about what questions other researchers have asked, what methodological approaches they have used, and what is your understanding of their findings and, when stated, their recommendations. Also pay attention to any suggestions for further research.
Since a literature review is information dense, it is crucial that this section is intelligently structured to enable a reader to grasp the key arguments underpinning your proposed study in relation to the arguments put forth by other researchers. A good strategy is to break the literature into "conceptual categories" [themes] rather than systematically or chronologically describing groups of materials one at a time. Note that conceptual categories generally reveal themselves after you have read most of the pertinent literature on your topic so adding new categories is an on-going process of discovery as you review more studies. How do you know you've covered the key conceptual categories underlying the research literature? Generally, you can have confidence that all of the significant conceptual categories have been identified if you start to see repetition in the conclusions or recommendations that are being made.
NOTE: Do not shy away from challenging the conclusions made in prior research as a basis for supporting the need for your proposal. Assess what you believe is missing and state how previous research has failed to adequately examine the issue that your study addresses. Highlighting the problematic conclusions strengthens your proposal. For more information on writing literature reviews, GO HERE .
To help frame your proposal's review of prior research, consider the "five C’s" of writing a literature review:
IV. Research Design and Methods
This section must be well-written and logically organized because you are not actually doing the research, yet, your reader must have confidence that you have a plan worth pursuing . The reader will never have a study outcome from which to evaluate whether your methodological choices were the correct ones. Thus, the objective here is to convince the reader that your overall research design and proposed methods of analysis will correctly address the problem and that the methods will provide the means to effectively interpret the potential results. Your design and methods should be unmistakably tied to the specific aims of your study.
Describe the overall research design by building upon and drawing examples from your review of the literature. Consider not only methods that other researchers have used, but methods of data gathering that have not been used but perhaps could be. Be specific about the methodological approaches you plan to undertake to obtain information, the techniques you would use to analyze the data, and the tests of external validity to which you commit yourself [i.e., the trustworthiness by which you can generalize from your study to other people, places, events, and/or periods of time].
When describing the methods you will use, be sure to cover the following:
V. Preliminary Suppositions and Implications
Just because you don't have to actually conduct the study and analyze the results, doesn't mean you can skip talking about the analytical process and potential implications . The purpose of this section is to argue how and in what ways you believe your research will refine, revise, or extend existing knowledge in the subject area under investigation. Depending on the aims and objectives of your study, describe how the anticipated results will impact future scholarly research, theory, practice, forms of interventions, or policy making. Note that such discussions may have either substantive [a potential new policy], theoretical [a potential new understanding], or methodological [a potential new way of analyzing] significance. When thinking about the potential implications of your study, ask the following questions:
NOTE: This section should not delve into idle speculation, opinion, or be formulated on the basis of unclear evidence . The purpose is to reflect upon gaps or understudied areas of the current literature and describe how your proposed research contributes to a new understanding of the research problem should the study be implemented as designed.
ANOTHER NOTE : This section is also where you describe any potential limitations to your proposed study. While it is impossible to highlight all potential limitations because the study has yet to be conducted, you still must tell the reader where and in what form impediments may arise and how you plan to address them.
VI. Conclusion
The conclusion reiterates the importance or significance of your proposal and provides a brief summary of the entire study . This section should be only one or two paragraphs long, emphasizing why the research problem is worth investigating, why your research study is unique, and how it should advance existing knowledge.
Someone reading this section should come away with an understanding of:
VII. Citations
As with any scholarly research paper, you must cite the sources you used . In a standard research proposal, this section can take two forms, so consult with your professor about which one is preferred.
In either case, this section should testify to the fact that you did enough preparatory work to ensure the project will complement and not just duplicate the efforts of other researchers. It demonstrates to the reader that you have a thorough understanding of prior research on the topic.
Most proposal formats have you start a new page and use the heading "References" or "Bibliography" centered at the top of the page. Cited works should always use a standard format that follows the writing style advised by the discipline of your course [e.g., education=APA; history=Chicago] or that is preferred by your professor. This section normally does not count towards the total page length of your research proposal.

How to Write a Research Proposal Detroit Medical Center Nursing Research Council
What is a research proposal? • A research proposal is your plan • It describes in detail your study • Decisions about your study are based on the quality of the proposal • Research funding • Approvals to proceed by the Nursing Research Council, the DMC, and the WSU Institutional Review Board
Research Proposal Elements • Background/clinical significance • Research Question/Aim/Purpose • Methods • Design • Sample/Sample Size • Setting • Protocol • Analysis plan • Timeline
Writing the Proposal
Background/Clinical Significance • Why is your study important? • Describe the clinical significance of the research question or clinical problem • Answer the “so what?” question
Literature review • What is the state of the science on this problem? Are there gaps in the literature? How will your study fill those gaps? • Synthesize recent literature (within the past 5 years)
Purpose • Identify simply what you plan to do in your study • The purpose can be framed as a research question or an aim • Examples: • What is the impact of meditative music on agitation in hospitalized elders? • The purpose of this study is to show the impact of meditative music on agitated elders.
Methods • This section of your proposal has multiple parts • Design • Sample/Sample size • Setting • Protocol • Analysis Plan • Detailed enough so that the reviewers could conduct the study
Methods - Design • Describe your study design • Design examples • Prospective vs. Retrospective • Descriptive • Observation • Intervention clinical trial • Surveys, interviews, questionnaires • Focus groups, field studies • Others • Example • We plan a prospective randomized controlled trial of meditative music vs. no music
Methods – Sample/Sample Size • Who are the study participants? • Describe inclusion criteria • Example: Adult men and women inpatients with stage IV heart disease • Who is excluded? • Example: Patients who do not speak English
Methods – Sample cont’d • How will participants be recruited? • Convenience sample of nurses or patients • Flyers in clinics or waiting rooms • Advertisements • Electronic Records search • How many participants are needed? • How will you justify the sample size? • Has there been a power analysis? • Do you have a comparison or control group?
Setting • Describe the units or clinics at DMC sites where you plan to conduct the study • Do you have support from the clinic or unit to conduct the study? • Letters of support from site or unit
Protocol • What are you going to do to study participants? • Detailed, step by step explanation • Include how you will identify participants, obtain consent, and collect data • If there is an intervention, describe it in detail • Will you use measurement tools? Describe the tools, including reliability and validity and include a copy of the tools with your proposal • Include the time frame for implementing the study
Data Analysis • Describe your analysis plan • What statistical tests will you use? • Be sure your statistics are appropriate for your study design
Timeline • Describe how long it will take to do your study • Provide timeline benchmarks • Example: • Months 1 – 3 Prepare study tools • Months 4-10 Collect data • Months 11-12 Analyze data
Common pitfalls to avoid • Missing aims or purpose • Not enough detail about protocol • Write your proposal so anyone reading it can understand your plan • Is your study significant? • Does it answer the larger “So what” question? Why should nurses care about this work? • Underpowered sample size • Describe why you are using the sample size and justify it • Invalid or unreliable instrumentation • Has your instrument been tested with the population you are studying? If not, will you test it within your study? • Improper statistics • Are you using the appropriate statistical analysis?
How will the Nursing Research Council Evaluate my proposal? The NRC will evaluate your proposal based on specific criteria defined by the Wayne State IRB • The research design must be sound enough to yield the expected knowledge • The aims/objectives are likely to be achievable in the given time period • The rationale for the proposed number of participants is reasonable • The scientific design is described and adequately justified

A poorly written research proposal can ruin your grades. A well written research proposal can guarantee your success and it will leave an impact on the adjudication committee about your credibility as a researcher. A research proposal must have all the detailed studies for the readers to analyze the proposed study. Impactful Title Title of your research proposal needs to be self-explanatory, so you need to come up with informative and impactful title of your proposal. Preparing An Abstract The abstract acts as a summary of the specific topic youu2019re working on. Your proposed solution and objectives should also be included, along with your projected funding requirements. Write a Literature Review section Most of the students add a literature review at the beginning of the paper, but most professors want it in the separate section. Provide Sufficient References Your references should offer the audience a clear idea in your understanding of the literature. The experts are also careful while carrying out the different steps that are necessary to prepare a research paper. Source: https://myessayhelp.co.uk/blog/how-to-write-research-proposal/

How to write a winning research proposal: a step-by-step guide.
When learning how to write a research proposal, it is important to start with a detailed plan that outlines the objectives, methodology, and significance of a research project. A research proposal is a crucial document for securing funding, gaining approval from academic committees, or outlining a structured plan for personal research endeavours. Crafting a compelling research proposal requires a clear understanding of the subject matter, a well-defined research question, and a meticulous approach to planning and presenting your research. This article will explore how to write a winning research proposal and how to navigate the challenges associated with it.
A well-structured research proposal typically includes several key components. Each section serves a specific purpose and contributes to the overall coherence and persuasiveness of the proposal.
The title of your research proposal should be concise, descriptive, and indicative of the main research question or hypothesis. A well-crafted title captures the essence of the study and draws the reader’s attention.
The abstract is a brief summary of the research proposal, usually no more than 250 words. It should provide an overview of the research problem, objectives, methodology, and potential implications. The abstract should be clear and succinct, giving readers a quick understanding of what the proposal entails.
The introduction sets the stage for your research by providing background information on the topic, outlining the research problem, and stating the research objectives. This section should:
The literature review demonstrates your understanding of the existing research on your topic. This section should:
The methodology section outlines the research design and the methods you will use to collect and analyse data. This section should include:
Provide a detailed plan of the research activities and a timeline for completing each phase of the project. This section should demonstrate that your research is feasible within the given timeframe.
If you are seeking funding, include a budget that outlines the estimated costs of your research. Be specific about how funds will be allocated (e.g., equipment, travel, participant incentives).
Discuss the potential outcomes of your research and its significance. Explain how your findings could contribute to the field, inform policy, or have practical applications.
List all the sources you cited in your proposal. Use a consistent and appropriate citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).
Be clear and concise.
Use clear and straightforward language. Avoid jargon and complex sentences that might confuse readers. Aim for clarity and precision in explaining your research.
Ensure that your proposal remains focused on the research question and objectives. Avoid including irrelevant information that does not contribute to the understanding of your proposed study.
Provide a realistic assessment of what can be achieved within the given timeframe and resources. Be honest about the scope of your research and any potential limitations.
Edit and Proofread
Your proposal must be clear, concise, and logically organised, following all rules of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and referencing. Adhere to the specific format and style required by your funding source or institution. Proofread your proposal multiple times, ideally with the help of a colleague or mentor, to identify and correct any mistakes or inconsistencies. Enhance the proposal’s structure, flow, and language to improve its overall quality. Ensure your proposal is compelling, engaging, and professionally presented.
Writing a research proposal is a critical step in the research process. It requires careful planning, a thorough understanding of the topic, and a clear presentation of your research plan. By following the structure outlined in this guide and paying attention to detail, you can craft a compelling research proposal that effectively communicates your ideas and secures the necessary support for your research.

If you’ve drafted a research proposal, you must be aware of the rigor and effort required. Sleepless nights, struggles to find inspiration, and living off caffeine for days.
For students, researchers, and writers, drafting a research proposal from scratch is intimidating. To complete their professional degrees or to get funded for sponsored research projects, these proposals are crucial.
A research proposal is a detailed plan outlining the objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes of a research project. Typically, researchers, academics, or graduate students write these to seek funding or approval to conduct their research. Research proposals serve to communicate the significance of the study, demonstrate the feasibility of the research plan, and secure resources or institutional support. They are essential for gaining funding, academic approval, or collaboration opportunities for research endeavors.
The primary audience of these research proposals are academic advisors, instructors, funding agencies or institutions. Therefore, the proposal should be tailored to an academic audience with expertise in the relevant field of study.
With industry experts reviewing your proposal, you wouldn't wanna miss a chance to impress them. SlideTeam experts have prepared an Academic Proposal Template to help you with laying a strong foundation for your research paper.

Write down the factors and variables in which the findings will be compiled. In the last column, originality/value, write the sources of data, a brief of references and credits.
This Slide helps you to give your readers an overview of your research project. Start off by giving a broad picture of your research hypothesis in the first column. In one line mention your research question, this is the core idea of your work. The general description will include the brief elements of your argument and sources of evidence. The final words are the closing ideas, quantitative and qualitative results, and the research conclusion. You can insert information into each section in bullet points for enhanced clarity.
A thesis statement summarizes the central argument of an essay or research paper. Be sure to include the topic of discussion, your position or claim on the topic, the supporting evidence or reasoning, and the scope or parameters of the argument in the PPT Layout. This statement slide will serve as a roadmap for the reader, guiding them through the main points and focus of your research paper. Write a concise statement to capture the reader's attention.
When it comes to conducting thorough research, it's crucial to have a unique and detailed approach. The research method is a strategic plan that outlines specific techniques and procedures to gather, analyze, and interpret data. This layout helps you plan your research approach or methods you will adopt, like surveys, questionnaires, interviews, case studies, and observations. As this data is crucial for the proposal you should follow a systematic approach towards gathering data, and use this PPT Template to do it well.
The template compiles information on two areas; the preliminary discussion and the results. The former section focuses on outlining the research conducted, including the hypothesis being tested. Whereas the next section can be used to present the findings of the research, including both positive and negative outcomes. This template offers a clear and concise way to communicate research progress and findings. You can present up to four key ideas.
Before writing your research proposal, it is vital to map out an action plan on how to stay on track and build a strong foundation. With this Work Plan PPT Template, you can use the chart to map out activities like the acceptance of the research proposal, connecting with locals in the study area, developing research tools, sample selection, data collection, report writing etc. Use the arrows provided in the slide to mark the tentative time span and the month in which the action will take place.

Write a brief description of each stage in the second column of the table. Use the column provided in the slide to mention the tentative time frame of the stage. This will showcase your readiness and commitment towards the research project to your academic advisors or funding agents.
The template on implications of research refers to the potential consequences or applications of its findings in practical, theoretical, or societal contexts. These should be included in research proposals to demonstrate the significance and relevance of the study's potential outcomes, guiding future actions and understanding. This PPT Template can record up to four potential implications or problems in your research. Based on this, you can make contingency plans and suggest methods to lower their impact on the project.
References establish the credibility of your work, demonstrate the knowledge of existing research, and provide a basis for your research's theoretical framework. Use this presentation template to list referencing conventions used in your academic proposal. Ensure that you cite both primary and secondary sources referred to in your research.
When creating an academic research proposal, it's crucial to present a well-structured, professionally crafted document with credible backing.
