This document provides an outline for developing a research proposal. It includes sections for background information, defining the research problem, formulating objectives, selecting a research topic, and identifying variables and measurements. Sample questions are given to help formulate a clear research problem. The purpose is to guide the researcher in developing the key components of an empirical study, including subjects, test organisms, study location, and phenomenon. Target beneficiaries are identified. References are also included. The overall goal is to design a scientifically sound research proposal or study.

9. A. Background of the Study
According to Ross and Lima (1994) , allometric relationships are better tools since they are
methodologically non-destructive for the animal population.
B. Statement of the Problem
What is the relationship between shell dimension and live tissue weights of Pholas
Orientalis ?
C. General Objective of the Study
To determine the allometric relationship between shell dimension (length, height, width)
and weight parameters (live weight, wet soft tissue weight, dry tissue weight) of Pholas
Orientalis.

11. Declarative sentences like: Or questions such as:

14. Is the amylase activity different in two species of tilapia (Oreochromis
niloticus) ?
Is there a difference in the protein content of goat’s (Capra hircus)
milk and carabao’s (Bubalus bubalis) milk ?

15. Will starving increase the amylase activity of
tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)
Is there a difference in the amount of dissolved oxygen
between the water samples treated with seaweeds
(Kappaphycus alvarezii) and that which is not treated?

16. This study aims to develop a PSHSWV web-based dormer’s traffic
log with parent alert.
The study dealt with the design of a prototype robot designed to
move by following a black line on the floor and help the bedridden
and/or on ambulant elderly by delivering water at four
predetermined times a day.

17. This study investigates the flight characteristics of mahogany (Swietenia
mahogani) seeds with respect to the structural properties of the seeds.
What is the water quality and the taxonomy, relative abundance and species
diversity of diatoms present in selected areas of Badbaran River in
Dumarao, Capiz?

18. -What are the variables?
-What will be measured?
-What relationships or effects
will be examined?
-To what group will your
result be generalizable (the
population) ?

19. - What/who are the subjects
of the study ?
(give scientific name if applicable)
- What test organisms are
involved?
(give scientific name if applicable)
-What is the locale of the
study?
-What phenomenon will be
studied?

21. - What are the major components of the design?
- What innovative
element is present?
- Who are the target
beneficiaries/users?

23. The purpose of this is to study seagrasses.
The study investigates the relationship of morphology and
habitat of crustaceans.

24. The purpose of this research is to identify the species of seagrass
collected from the shorelines of six towns in Iloilo namely San
Joaquin, Tigbauan, Carles, Estancia, Miagao and Dumangas and to
describe its demographic characteristics by computing its mean age,
gross recruitment, mortality rate and net recruitment; its
reproductive dynamics by determining the frequency and
seasonality of flowering and its vegetative dynamics by determining
the vertical growth rate of shoots and horizontal elongation rate of
rhizomes.
This study will describe the community structure of seagrasses in
coastal areas of Iloilo.
