Strategies for developing research proposals

This session provides strategies for developing appropriate research questions, conceptualizing information surrounding a topic, and selecting a project scope that matches your time frame. While noting differences across disciplines, this workshop discusses strategies students can use to begin the planning and drafting of a research proposal. Key features of the workshop include developing preliminary research questions, creating coherence between parts of the proposal, and revising for errors that prompt confusion or misreading. Please note that this session does not provide information related to preparing proposals for scholarship/ funding applications.
