Abstract (≤ 150 words, no page #)
Purpose
Methods
Chapter 1 Introduction
(3-5 p., headings and subheadings as needed)
- Why is the study being conducted?
- What is the justification for the study?
- Problem statement
- Hypothesis Statement:
Statistical
hypotheses (H
0
:, H
A
:) are used to test the
research
hypothesis
(what the researcher actually expects) These are implied by the

4. purpose of the study.
- Delimitations (Scope):
What variables
are being measured (as opposed to other variables that
are not);
Who
(i.e. what subject population) is being measured (as opposed to
other
populations that are not);
Where
are measurements being taken (as opposed to other locations
that might affect the results);
At what time
are measurements being taken (as opposed to other times that
might affect the results);
- Limitations of the Study (factors that could not be controlled)
Trade-off between internal
validity (tight control of extraneous factors) and external
validity ("generalizibility" of
results)
- Operational Definition of Terms
- Significance of the study "Real world" significance of
research findings (not statistical
significance)
Based on a review of prior work, the researcher "sets the stage"
for his/her study focus. The last paragraph begins with "The
purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of [the
independent variable(s)] on [the dependent variable(s)]. If one
has properly "set the stage", the purpose will be obvious to the
reader.

5. Chapter 2 Review of the Literature
(
10-15 p. summarizing a
minimum
of 10 studies supporting the proposal, headings and
subheadings as needed)
The review of the literature is a separate section in a proposal,
but is embedded in the Introduction and Discussion sections of
a journal manuscript. The format of a review article is
a good model for a review of literature.
-Introduction - citations which support general aspects of the
area (i.e. theory, principles)
-Body - citations pertaining to specific aspects of the general
area of interest
-Summary - Analysis of the literature into what areas are well
documented and what areas have
scant documentation
Chapter 3 Methodology
(3-5 p. headings and subheadings as needed)
Subjects
Sample Size (n)
Inclusionary/Exclusionary Criteria
Subject Recruitment
Sampling Procedures
Informed Consent/Institutional Review/Human Subjects Issues
Treatment/Experimental Design
How is (are) the treatment(s) allocated to the experimental units
(subjects)?
How are extraneous factors controlled?
Issues pertaining to internal/external validity
Replication of the study

6. Instrumentation
Data Collection Procedures
Precise description (with citations) of methodology allows for
critical analysis of how the
methodology might have affected the results
Statistical Analysis
α level (Type I error)
β, power, sample size
Statistical test(s) that are appropriate for the level of
measurement
Pilot Work
References
(MINIMUM of 10 listed in alphabetical order).
APA format
must
be used in reference list and in citation in the text.
