Study Notes

Concept Paper Overview

  • A concept paper is an academic or research paper, primarily intended to explain an idea or concept within a specific scholarly field or discipline. It precedes a full-scale research project.

  • It summarizes the project, its importance, and its implementation plan. It reflects the writer's interests, experience, and expertise, as well as their organization's focus.

  • A concept paper generally aims to discuss a topic in depth, often with the goal of securing funding from donors. "Concept paper" and "proposal" are often used interchangeably, as they serve similar functions.

  • The paper may also discuss best practices and other related issues where the writer anticipates action in the near future. The format is usually concise, containing information, statistics, and persuasive arguments.

  • Typically, a concept paper is two to three pages in length, with sufficient detail to outline the basics of a grant proposal.

Uses of a Concept Paper

  • A concept paper serves as the foundation for a larger proposal.
  • It helps determine a project's feasibility.
  • It helps pique interest from funding agencies.
  • It is used to gather informal feedback on ideas before developing a full proposal.

Ways to Explain a Concept Paper

  • Definition: Identifying and explaining a given term.
  • Explication: Detailed explanation of a topic, using sentences, passages, or quotes from a relevant work.
  • Clarification: Making abstract ideas more concrete with examples, showing relationships, and refining the working definition.

Parts of a Concept Paper

  • Title Page: Includes the research title, author's name and affiliation, and submission date.
  • Introduction: Briefly describes the concept, its contribution, and the main objective of its implementation, outlining any gaps.
  • Need for the Study: Explains the need for the research with concrete evidence and documentation. Also reviews existing scholarship to see if questions have already been addressed.
