What Is Research Proposal And How Can We Make Good Research Proposals?

Before any research study is undertaken there should be an agreement between the person who authorizes the study and the researcher as to the problem to be investigated the methodology to be used the duration of the study and its cost. This ensures that there are no misunderstandings or frustrations later for both parties. This is usually accomplished through the research proposal which the researcher submits and gets approved by the sponsor who issues a letter of authorization to proceed with the study. The researcher proposal drawn up by the investigator is the result of a planned, organized and careful effort and basically contains the following:

• The broad goals of the study.
• The specific problem to be investigated.
• Details of the procedures to be followed.
The research design offering details on:
• The sampling design.
• Data collection methods.
• Data analysis.

Time frame of the study including information on when the written report will be handed over to the sponsors. The budget detailing the costs with reference to specific items of expenditure.

Such a proposal containing the above features is presented to the manager who might seek clarification on some points, want the proposal to be modified in certain aspects or accept it into.
