Research Proposal Instructions and Outline

Essential Components of the Final Project Proposal will include:

1. Introduction– Provide an introduction to your topic or project. The introduction gives the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what the project will cover and what can be gained from implementation of this project. Your paper should NOT have a heading of “Introduction”. Because it is immediately following the title and the first portion of your paper, the heading is not needed.

2. Overview of the Problem – Discuss the problem, why the problem is worth exploring and the potential contribution of the proposed project to the discipline of nursing.

3. Project Purpose Statement – Provide a declarative sentence or two which summarizes the specific topic and goals of the project.

4. Background and Significance – State the importance of the problem and emphasize what is innovative about your proposed project. Discuss the potential impact of your project on your anticipated results to the betterment of health and/or health outcomes.

5. PICOt formatted Clinical Project Question(s)– Provide the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Expected Outcomes and Timeframe for the proposed project.

6. Literature Review – Provide the key terms used to guide a search for evidence and discuss at least five (5) summaries of relevant, credible, recent, evidence-based research studies to support the project proposal.

7. Critical Appraisal of Literature – Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, what is known from the evidence and what gaps in evidence were found from the appraisal of evidence-based research studies.

8. Develop an EBP Standard – Describe two to three interventions (or a bundle of care) from the evidence and discuss how individual patient preferences or the preferences of others will be considered.

9. Implications – Summarize the potential contributions of the proposed project for nursing research, education and practice.

10. Conclusion

Make a Level One heading from each of the above topics: Introduction, Overview of the Problem, Project Purpose Statement, etc. If the information needs to be divided further, use Level Two headings. This will likely be needed at least in the Literature Review and possibly elsewhere. You can expand and use Level Three if you feel it is needed.

This is an APA formatted paper. It must have a title page page numbers, and a References section.

Title That Conveys or Describes the Assignment

Provide an introduction to your topic or project but do not start the introduction with

the heading “Introduction”. This gives the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what

the project will cover and what can be gained from implementation of this project. You

should have references here and in the next part, too. The PICOT question should be moved

to later in this paper.

Overview of the Problem (or Problem Statement—You Choose)

Provide a synopsis of the problem and some indication of why the problem is worth exploring

or what contribution the proposed project is apt to make to practice. Include a succinct and

detailed statement of what the problem actually is. This much of paper is completed with Part

Project Purpose Statement

This is not the same as the Overview of the Problem or the Problem Statement. Here,

provide a declarative sentence or two which summarizes the specific topic and goals of the

project. (Note: the problem and the project are not the same. The problem is what needs to

be changed, done, etc. The project is what you want to do to accomplish this.

Background and Significance

State the importance of the problem and emphasize

what is innovative about your proposed project. Discuss the potential impact of your

project on your anticipated results to the betterment of health and/or health outcomes.

PICOt formatted Clinical Project Question

Provide the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Expected Outcomes and timeframe for the

proposed project. This much of paper is completed with Part 2.

Literature Review

Provide key terms (search words) used to guide the search for the evidence and provide at

least five (5) summaries of research articles to support the evidence. You could also include

what else guided you in selecting your articles—years of publication, type of articles, etc.

Heading of Few Words Describing Article One

Review Article One: what was researched, type of research, number participants, how
