Research Proposal [#permalink]

03 Jul 2004, 03:04

Hi

I need to send across a 2-3 page research proposal to a couple of Professors. Does anybody have any sample research proposals, I could take a look at before I write mine. Please mail such samples to me at mukesh_s_chaudhary@rediffmail.com. Also a website with such information would also be great help.

Another question I want to put across on the forum is:
1. How do you decide on a topic for research?
2. How do you know that the topic makes sense?

Thanks!
Mukesh

The questions you have raised are very relevant.

Perhaps you are trying to complete your research/PhD in India. Mostly in US - your research work would be guided by the Guide you choose. Most of them publish - and have a rich base in the topics they want to research.

At the place i am doing my course - there are two distinct species
A) Working on live projects/consulting assignments of their thesis guide
B) Working on a topic one is deeply interested in

If you do not fall in these two categories - life for you is trouble.
So how to proceed?'
A) Do a literature review. Spend time in library. Study all and sundry that you come across related to the topic of your interest.
B) Give a deadline for activity A. Say 1.5 months/3 months. Then find out the research gaps.
C) Focus on the gaps which you think you can address - In terms of resources you can manage, the data collection methodology etc. One/two months
D) Now refine the methodology. One month

The REsearch Proposal should be ready.

Hope this helps.
