The document discusses the contents and purposes of a research proposal. A research proposal helps organize ideas in a coherent manner and convinces the audience that the proposed work is achievable. The key components of a research proposal include a title, background/introduction stating the research problem, clearly defined research questions and objectives, hypotheses in question, correlation, or population difference form, a method section outlining the research design and data collection plans, as well as literature review, structure, and references sections.
