A\u00a0research proposal\u00a0<\/strong>is similar in a number of ways to a project proposal; however, a research proposal addresses a particular project: academic or scientific research.\u00a0 The forms and procedures for such research are well defined by the field of study, so guidelines for research proposals are generally more exacting than less formal project proposals.\u00a0 Research proposals contain extensive literature reviews and must offer convincing support of need for the research study being proposed.\u00a0 Doctoral dissertations begin with research proposal; the proposal must be accepted by a panel of experts (usually professors) before the actual research can begin.\u00a0 In addition to providing rationale for the proposed research, the proposal must described a detailed methodology for conducting the research–a methodology consistent with requirements of the professional or academic field.\u00a0 The links below offer explanations and examples of research proposals.<\/p>\n
