Requirements: Research Study Proposal Part 1

1. Proposed Topic
   1. Describe the study’s topic and focus (1-page minimum). 
      1. This piece would include the statement of the problem and background information. Think of this piece as an introduction.
2. Research Question
   1. Develop a narrowly defined research question that clearly outlines what question you are seeking to answer to would add something new to the literature. You can find ideas for this by reviewing the researcher recommendations for future research; this is found at the end of research articles.
   2. You should only have a single research question that includes the variables you will be measuring.
3. Hypothesis/Hypotheses
   1. This should be a clear answer to your research question and should not be more than a single sentence long.
   2. This should include a hypothesis and a null hypothesis (1 sentence for each).
   3. Be sure that your null hypothesis is identical to your hypothesis with the exception of the word “NOT” added in.
4. Variables
   1. List each of the variables you plan to study in your research. These should be specific and measurable. They must also be clearly stated in your research question.
5. Participants (1/2 page minimum)

   1. Discuss the proposed sampling method and the rationale for selecting it (1-page minimum).
