This document outlines the necessary components for proposing a research project, including: 1) A concise title that presents the research question, problem, or hypothesis. 2) 4-7 clear and non-overlapping aims and objectives that comprehensively cover the research topic. 3) At least one secondary research element for each objective to review existing literature. 4) Clarification of how the organization will use the research findings and what is expected to change as a result. Providing this level of detail is required for an effective project proposal that can be properly evaluated.

1. Project Proposition Form
Background. You have an idea of a project and you need our help to know whether it is going to 'work' and
quite how to go about it. A vague idea is not a lot for us to go on. Help us to help you: think the idea through a
bit more and develop a proposition with the information below and that should give us enough to go on to give
you decent feedback. Any less than this and we won't be able to help you much – it is as simple as that!
Do read the file 'Research Process' on my website [www.tonyversity.com/students and the stagiaires tab]
..and specifically the elements regarding choice of title, the introduction and, (most importantly): defining aims
and objectives.
