In Brief
The intention of writing a research
proposal in biotechnology is to get
approval for research work from a
committee irrespective of what you are
applying. The researcher aims to clearly
describe the research in a way that a non-
specialist can understand. The research
proposal in biotechnology must not only
define how the research will be carried
out but also need to provide detail
description about the required timeline.
I. INTRODUCTION
Writing a research proposal in the present
era is an entirely challenging mission
because of the constant evolution in the
research design and the need to incorporate
innovative concepts and medical advances
in the methodology section. A well-
formatted research proposal in the field of
biotechnology will be written according to
the required guidelines forms the mainstay
for the research, and hence proposal
writing is an essential step in the process
of conducting research. The main objective
in preparing a research proposal is to
obtain approval from several committees
such as the ethics committee and grant
committee.
II. BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR AN
EFFECTIVE RESEARCH PROPOSAL
The primary purpose of every proposal
that needs to address how your proposed
research will fit into what is already know
and the proposal should add innovative
addition to the present findings in
biotechnology while specifying the
research question to be answered, its
significance and implications. For
example, TB is the deadly infectious
disease in the world, but unfortunately, not
all drugs are adversely affecting the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thus the
proposing research should be innovative in
finding the existing problems and identify
solutions.
The research proposal must be capable of
convincing the committee evaluating the
proposal about the practicality,
reproducibility of the proposed research in
biotechnology, its achievability and
credibility.
In most cases, the evaluation committee
consists of the audience with different
expectations and committee members from
various fields such as academic
professionals, policy-makers, practitioners
and general audience.
In order to overcome all the challenges
that come during the process of writing a
quality research proposal in biotechnology,
expert guidance is advisable and
recommended. We have experienced
professional in various fields like
biotechnology, management, engineering,
science and medicine, and they are ready
to support in writing a full research
proposal from developing innovative
ideas, literature review, experimental
design till budget evaluation and citation.
We also provide consultations for the same
and specific writing, editing, and
proofreading support for your research
proposal in the field of biotechnology.

III. CONTENTS OF A RESEARCH
PROPOSAL
In general, the research proposal format
varies depending on what you are applying
for, e.g. grant proposal, PhD proposal,
master thesis proposal, and research
position proposal. The requirements vary
according to the evaluation committee and
are generally provided in advance by the
institution or evaluation committee.
The well-proven structure we use for
writing the research proposal are:
1. Title page
2. Aims and objectives
3. Introduction
4. Literature review
5. Research design and methods
6. Budget
7. Appendices
8. Citations
Fig 1. Structure for an Effective Research Proposal
IV. TITLE PAGE
Like every research document, the
biotechnology research proposal will have
a title page that includes.
 The title of your proposed research
project (For example: “A translational
recovery mechanism may provide a
novel target for drug-resistant of M.
tuberculosis.”
 Name of the student
 Name of the supervisor
 The department and Institution
It is suitable for a research project, to
know the specific structure for your
requirements, reach out to us.

V. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim or goal and objective of the
biotechnology research proposal should
give a broad indication of the expected
research outcome and the hypothesis to be
tested can also be the aim of your study.
The objective can be categorized as
primary and secondary according to the
parameters and tools used to achieve the
goal.
VI. INTRODUCTION
The introduction is the initial pitch for the
research proposal, and it is mandatory to
explain what you want to do and why. The
introduction should
 Explain the topic
 Give the background and context of the
topic
 Overview of the proposed problem
statement and research question
The proposal should also focus on some
essential questions to guide the
introduction
1. Who has an interest in the topic or
the target audience?
2. What are the existing issues and the
missing elements from the current
trend?
3. What new insights will your
research contribute?
4. Why is this research worth doing?

VII. LITERATURE REVIEW
A literature review is the crucial part of
any research work, and it helps in
exploring and familiarizing much about
the topic. A strong review convinces the
reader and makes the audience understand
the importance of the proposed research in
biotechnology.
A review must demonstrate precisely how
the proposed research will contribute to the
technological development in
biotechnology
 Compare and contrast the main
theories, existing methods and
controversies
 Explain the strengths and weaknesses
of different approaches?
 Show how your research fits in
overcoming the challenges

factors involved and its development
VIII. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
METHODS
The objective of producing the research
design and methods is to analyze how the
researcher is addressing the research
problem, and it is an opportunity to
impress the evaluation committee by
providing a well-driven research design
chosen from an appropriate source. This
section of the research proposal should
explain the sources and methods to be
incorporated in the conduct of research and
discuss the specific requirements of the
proposed project. In addition, the search
strategy used for information gathering
and analysis should be clearly explained,
and it is advised to restate the main
objective of the proposed project to bring
back the attention as this avoids diversion.
The research design and methods section
should clearly describe the approach, and
practical steps will be taken to address the
research questions.
Research methods should state
 What tools and procedures will be used
to conduct an experiment, collect and
analyze data?
 Why will the chosen method be the
best to answer the research questions?
Make sure not to mention a list of methods
instead explain the most appropriate and
reliable approach to answering the
formulated research questions.

IX. BUDGET
While preparing a research budget, the
researcher should predict the required fund
and add additional fund for unexpected
delays and rising costs, and it should be
justified. If the proposal is written
explicitly for research funding, the
researcher must categorize the budget on
each part. Pubrica has experts to support in
estimating the appropriate fund for any
project, and we categorize each segment to
determine the exact value.
Make sure to check the type of costs the
funding agencies will agree to cover and
include relevant items in your budget. For
each category, include:
 How much money do you need?
 Why is this fund necessary to complete
the research?
 How did you calculate the amount?
To determine your budget, think about:
 Materials cost
 Assistance or support staff required
 Travel costs
 Required timeline

X. APPENDICES
Appendices are the support document
provided for a proposal, and it will be
specific for each proposal include
supporting documents, questionnaires, and
details of measurement tools.
XI. CITATIONS
Citation is the process of citing the original
research paper in which the idea or
methods used for composing a research
proposal. And it is mandatory for any
scientific research articles.
In summary, a research proposal in
biotechnology should communicate the
researcher’s knowledge on the project,
methods and explain the need for the
study. A research proposal has written for
multiple reasons as mentioned, and an
expert’s support will be an added
advantage on any specific purpose as it
gives you an edge over other participants.
We provide a complete biotechnology
research proposal writing service for
clients who lacks background knowledge
on biotechnology and specified service
that you wish to hire an expert.
