Introduction: Start your proposal by presenting “the problem being investigated, the importance of the study, and an overview of your research strategy. Use the literature to support your statement of the problem.”
Background of the Problem
What do we know so far about the area of the literature that you reviewed?
What do you think we need to know to advance the knowledge base?
How will this new knowledge serve the stakeholders (scientists, care providers, families, patients, institutions) that may in turn be served by implementation of new developments?
Statement of the Problem
Identify the gap in research or the need for additional research in your area.
Purpose of the Study
Why does the problem deserve new research?
Are you resolving inconsistency in previous research? Extending the reach of a theory? Solving a social problem?
Significance of the Study
Describe the significance of the proposed investigation by explaining how the results promise to advance the scientific knowledge base. In three sentences or fewer, explain how this inquiry is original.
Research Question(s)
Articulate whether the research question is a qualitative or a quantitative question and provide a rationale. For quantitative research questions, include your hypothesis or hypotheses. USE THE TEMPLATES PROVIDED whether it will be qualitative or a quantitative question
Definition of Terms
For a qualitative study, the definition of terms should relate to how the participants should interpret the definitions.
For a quantitative study, the definition of terms should relate to how the variables will be quantified.
Research Design
Discuss the method and how the question will be answered. Be sure to make mention of the relevant APA Code of Ethics, but not how you intend to address them.
Synthesize conceptual information pertinent to the research question; this is information that you extract from the articles selected for this review
literature review
Do not organize the paper by referencing each article in order one by one. Your task is to synthesize conceptual information pertinent to the research question; this is the information that you extract from the articles selected and thematically review and summarize.Plan to identify articles and research that:
Describe an area of research.
Describe the area of research chosen and justify the choice.
Summarize sources applicable to the theoretical background of the chosen topic.
Provide information about theoretical underpinnings such as empirical or behavioral or constructivist and humanistic orientations of the literature reviewed.
Summarize sources applicable to the history of the chosen topic.
Shed light on the historical context and dominant themes in the evolution of the topic; connect common themes and discuss counter opinions.
Summarize sources applicable to best practices for engaging in research.
Describe data collection strategies, research procedures, and approaches for conducting and reporting research.
Summarize sources that add significance and relevance to the knowledge base of psychology.
Indicate how the chosen sources help investigators identify topics that are well understood and other topics that represent gaps in the knowledge base and the need for further study.
Create a scenario that illustrates the need for new research.
Identify practices and research guidelines that address respect for individual differences and diversity.
Address individual variation and diversity within and across groups.
Organize and summarize sources thematically.
Your task is to present current considerations important to investigators and to indicate ramifications for stakeholders that rely on the current knowledge base. Use illustrative examples to explain and highlight key concepts. Good reviewers share with their audience evidence-based assessments of the current state of knowledge.
