Research Proposal Instructions

During this course, you have developed a purpose statement and a corresponding research question, evaluated quantitative and qualitative research studies, identified a research design that you could use to address your research question, and composed a Literature Review on your topic.

· Abstract (1 slide)

· Purpose of the study (1 slide)

· Research question(s) (and hypotheses if selecting a quantitative design) (1–2 slides)
