Research Proposal

A research proposal is a document that presents a plan for a project to reviewers for evaluation. It can be a supervised project submitted to instructors as part of an educational degree (e.g. a Master’s thesis). Its purpose is to convince reviewers that researcher is capable of successfully conducting the proposed research project. Planned project will be successfully completed if the proposal is well written and organized, and carefully planned. The proposal is just like a research report, but it is written before the research project begins. A proposal describes the research problem and its importance, and gives a detailed account of the methods that will be used and why they are appropriate. A proposal for quantitative research has most of the parts of a research report:
1.      Topic of Research                                                                                                                  
2.      Introduction                                                                                                                           
3.      Background study                                                                              
4.      Research question                                                                             
5.      Research objective                                                                            
6.      Research methodology                                                                      
7.      Significance of research                                                                    
8.      Tool for data collection                                                                     
9.      Data processing and analysis                                                            
10.  Time schedule                                                                                    
11.   Bibliography   

It includes a title, an abstract, A problem statement, a literature review, a method or design section, and a bibliography. It lacks results, discussion, and conclusions section. The proposal has a plan for data collection and analysis. It frequently includes a schedule of the steps to be undertaken and an estimate of the time required for each step.
