Developing a research design and writing a research proposal
Here are links to resources that can help in developing your research projects. Research design is the systematic formulation of a viable problem statement and the methods and procedures by which you will go about approaching that problem. The proposal is similar, but geared toward a specific end, such as a thesis proposal or a grant application, often with detailed format requirements.
