Writing A Research Proposal A research proposal is an essential pre-requisite to any project. A detailed proposal is necessary if funding is being sought, while a more brief, general proposal is required for ethics committee application. However, writing a proposal has many benefits for the research process itself. It allows problems to be defined and managed before the project begins, provides guidance while the research is in process and provides documentary evidence of what analysis was planned prior to the research commencing. Once the proposal is written, a more detailed document – the research protocol, should be produced. This will outline all the study procedures, including data collection and planned data analysis. A template for writing a research proposal is provided on this website. This document describes the key steps and can be used to complete the template. It is best suited to studies evaluating therapeutic interventions but can be adapted to suit evaluations
