9. What is a Proposal?
A proposal is a
request for
support of
sponsored
research,
instruction, or
extension
projects.
A proposal is a plan or suggestion,

10. Introduction
to
Research Proposal

11. What is a Research Proposal?
A research proposal is a document that
provides a detailed description of the intended
program.
It is like an outline of the entire research
process that gives a reader a summary of the
information discussed in a project.

12. • How long should a research proposal be?
It should be of almost 3-7 pages.

15. 1. Internal research proposal:
• A one-three page memo from the researcher to
manage outline the problem statements,
study objectives,
research design and
schedule is enough to start
an exploratory study.
• .

17. 2. External research proposal:
An external proposal is either solicited or
unsolicited.

20. The main objective of a research proposal is to show
• The proposed problem
• The method
• Fruitful results of research
The goal of a research proposal is
• to present and justify the need to study a research problem
• to present the practical ways in which this
research should be conducted.

22. • One page is usually sufficient for this. Writers need to
tell the reader that the research can justified along
four main criteria:
• The size of the industry/area involved
• The gaps in the literature that demand attention
• The unusual or improved methodology being used
• The benefits in terms of policy and practice

24. Evidence of new knowledge
Contribution to knowledge
It should lead to successful thesis

31.  Abstract:

32.  Abstract contain:

33.  Research Problem:
The research question may not be a
question as such, but rather a
statement of a problem to be
investigated.

34.  Types of Research Problems:
• Difference research problem
• Descriptive research problem
• Relational research problem

35.  Example:

36.  Introduction:

37.  Title:

38.  The Background section or Significance

40.  Literature review:

41.  Methodology:
Data collection
and its
application.
Description of
tools , used.
Methodology
designing
according to
nature of data.

42.  Methodology:
• This section should be about 1-2 pages.
• Do not describe the methodology.
• Explain the reasons for using, for example:
A certain paradigm or theory
Qualitative or quantitative research
A case study of a specific kind

43.  Expected Results:
• The results section of the research paper is the
findings of study based upon the methodology.
• The page length of this section is set by the
amount and types of data to be reported.
• Avoid providing data that is not critical to
answering the research question.

44.  References:
References are the published sources that you
consulted from while writing your research paper . It
includes:
Title of author(s)
or editor(s)
Date of
publication
Title of chapter
Title of
publication
(book, journal,
website)
Name of
publisher
Page numbers
for chapters and
journal articles

45.  Different References Styles:
APA style SourceModified Harvard style Source
Marshall and Rowland (2006, p.28) argue
that "there is no Right way to manage your
time, it makes sense to look for a range of
techniques".

48.  The Table of Contents(ToC):
Whether to include ToC depends on
a. The direction in the guidelines
b. The complexity and length of proposal
• For Brief proposals
• For Long proposals

50.  Motivation behind Research:
Source of motivation for
something different.
Which general problems motivate
your research?
Data analysis on the facts, get
from brainstorming .

51.  Time line for proposal:
Provide a detailed guide as to how will you
complete the work within the time specified.
 It list the times and dates of each step of your
proposal.
 Map out what will you do and when will you do
it.

52. Time division for Research:
• Initial work
• Field work
• Library work
• Preparation of
report
• Data processing
Time
division

53. Example:

54.  Budget:
• It is a tabular representation of the expenses
associated with the proposed project.

55. Breakdown of budget:
Supplies
and
expenses
Equipment
Travel
Consultant
Salary

57.  Ethical Statements:
• It is the permission of the appropriate authority
necessary before doing the investigation for
primary research.
• It aims to protect both researchers and
participants.

58.  Bibliography:
A bibliography, sometimes, is taken to be a
list of all those sources you looked at but
did not cited in your proposal
Its need depends on nature of proposal
It may be written in APA style.

59.  Flaws in Research Proposal:
Failure to be
concise.
Imprecise
writing, or poor
grammar
Failure to cite
landmark works
in your literature
review.
Failure to stay
focused on the
research problem
