Writing a research proposal is one of the most important tasks facing
academics, researchers and postgraduate students. Yet there is a good
deal of misinformation and a great lack of guidance about what
constitutes a good research proposal and what can be done to maximise
one′s chances of writing a successful research proposal. Denicolo
and Becker recognise the importance of developing an effective
research proposal for gaining either a place on a research degree
programme or funding to support research projects and set out to
explore the main factors that that proposal writers need to attend to
in developing successful proposals of their own. Developing
Research Proposals will help readers to understand the context within
which their proposal will be read, what the reviewers are looking for
and will be influenced by, while also supporting the development of
relevant skills through advice and practical activities. This book:
Explores the nature and purpose of different kinds of proposals
Focuses on the actual research proposed Discusses how best to carry
out and structure the literature review Examines the posing and
phrasing of research questions and hypotheses Looks at how methods and
methodology should be handled in a proposal Discusses the crucial
issues of planning, strategy and timing in developing targeted
proposals Denicolo and Becker draw together the key elements in the
process of preparing and submitting a proposal and concludes with
advice on responding to the results, successful or not, and their
relevance to future proposals. The Success in Research series, from
Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short, authoritative and
accessible guides on key areas of professional and research
development. Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase of what you
really need to know, these practical and supportive books cover a
range of areas from presenting research to achieving impact, and from
publishing journal articles to developing proposals. They are
essential reading for any student or researcher interested in
developing their skills and broadening their professional and
methodological knowledge in an academic context.
