What is a research proposal?

The purpose of the research proposal is to identify and formulate questions that arise from

nursing practice and to design a research project to study the identified problem. The goal of

a research proposal is to present and justify a research idea you have and to present the

practical ways in which you think this research should be conducted. Research proposals

contain extensive literature reviews and must provide persuasive evidence that there is a need

for the proposed research study. In addition to providing rationale for the proposed research,

a proposal describes detailed methodology for conducting the research consistent with

requirements of the professional or academic field and a statement on anticipated outcomes

and/or benefits derived from the study.

either a qualitative or quantitative research proposal. The proposal should be a 6–10 pages
