Assignment Guide: Research Proposal

Assignment Overview What is a research proposal?

A research proposal is written not only to introduce your audience to your research topic, but also to convince or persuade your audience that your topic is worth exploring, that your research question is worth considering, and that your claim is supported by credible evidence.

What kind of research proposal will I be writing?

It’s important to acknowledge that there are many kinds of research proposals and that each kind serves a different purpose.  For example, some research proposals aim to seek “approval” for a research study while other proposals aim to engage their intended audience in putting forth the relevancy of a research project— offering details to help the audience gain familiarity with the topic of study and the evolving the claim.  The latter of the two described proposals is the one you will be crafting:  a research proposal designed to share your research plan and the route you will take to convey a convincing claim.

Does my research proposal need to be approved before I can move forward onto other research steps?

No.  Your proposal will not face an approval or no approval; rather, the research proposal will be returned to you with helpful feedback to aid you in developing your researched argument essay.  In many ways, your research proposal is the �rst light your argument sees and the initial feedback you receive will help you set your directional course as you move forward. Later missteps can be avoided if your proposal is sound and well-developed. One might posit that the research proposal is an opportunity for a writer who is embarking on a research journey to fully process the trajectory of their argument.
