Creating a Research Proposal

Planning Your Project

A research proposal outlines what you plan to study, why it's important, and how you'll do it.

Key Elements

  • Introduction: What is your topic?
  • Research Question: What do you want to find out?
  • Methodology: How will you investigate?
  • Significance: Why does it matter?
  • Timeline: When will you do each step?

Why Propose?

Proposals help you clarify your ideas and get feedback before diving in.

Examples

  • Drafting a proposal about the effects of school start times on student performance.

  • Outlining steps to study local recycling programs.
