    Study Notes

    Research Proposal

    • A research proposal is a blueprint for a study, outlining the plan and approach before the research begins.
    • A good research proposal is based on scientific facts and clear communication.

    Components of a Research Proposal

    • Objective: clearly state the study's objective, which should be specific, achievable, and measurable.
    • Introduction: introduce the problem to be studied, and provide background information to help the reader understand the topic.
    • Background/Review of Literature: provide an extensive review of existing literature on the topic, including what is already known and the gaps in current knowledge.
    • Methodology: outline the research design, procedures, and techniques to be used to achieve the objective.
    • Time Frame and Work Schedule/Gantt Chart: outline the sequence of tasks, timeline, and personnel required for the study.
    • Personnel needed/available: list the primary investigators, co-investigators, and their qualifications and research experience.
    • Facilities needed/available: list the important facilities required for the study, such as computers, laboratories, and special equipment.
    • Budget: provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in the study, including salaries, travel, equipment, and institutional overheads.

    Research Methodology

    • Research methodology is a systematic approach to solving a research problem.
    • It involves understanding not only the research methods and techniques but also the methodology itself.
    • The methodology should be clearly outlined, including the study design, population, sampling specifications, sample size, instrumentation, and procedures.

    Study Design

    • A study design is a specific plan for conducting the study, which translates the conceptual hypothesis into an operational one.
    • The study design should be clearly stated and appropriate for achieving the objective of the study.

    Sample Size

    • The sample size should be determined and justified in the proposal.
    • The determination of sample size is a balance between precision and the resources required.

    Time Frame and Work Schedule

    • The proposal should include a detailed timeline and work schedule for the study.
    • The timeline can be presented in a tabular or graphic form, such as a Gantt chart.

    Budget

    • The budget should be a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in the study.
    • The budget should include major items such as salaries, travel, equipment, and institutional overheads.
