• State the purpose of your study.
• Briefly describe one or two theories or conceptual models related to your dissertation topic (anchored in your literature review thus far).
• Describe one or two research questions that could fill a potential gap in the literature and form the basis of your dissertation.
• Your research question(s) must be aligned with the research problems(s) (gaps/limitations) you identified in Week 5, the purpose of your study, AND the theory and/or conceptual model you’ve selected that forms the foundation for your study.
