Final Project

Research Study Proposal

In this course, you have demonstrated your knowledge of key concepts by completing a research proposal, which is your Final Project for the course. You have worked step-by-step on various elements of the project throughout the course. This week, you will complete two final pieces of the proposal and then combine all of these elements and submit your completed research study proposal.

To prepare for this Application:

Review the results and feedback from your Application assignments in Weeks 1, 2, 7, 9, and 10.

Review the Final Project Description handout in the Week 1 Learning Resources. The assignment:

Submit by Day 7 your research study proposal according to the guidelines outlined in the Final Project Description handout.

Your completed proposal should include each of the following elements you completed in previous weeks:

Introduction, problem statement, and purpose of the study (Week 1)

Review of literature (Week 9)

Research questions (Week 2)

Theoretical framework (Week 7)

Procedure, including design (Week 2) and sampling strategy (Week 10) In addition, your final proposal should include two elements that you will create this week:

Abstract. Write a brief summary/description of your final research proposal.

Social change implications. In 2 or 3 paragraphs, explain the possible implications that the results of your study may have on researchers, practitioners, and social change. See the Final Project Description handout for further information. Once you have included all the elements into your final research proposal, save your proposal as a “.doc” or “.rtf” file.

Submit your Application to the Week 11 Assignment 3 submission link by Day 7.

Please proceed to the Course Evaluation.

Research Proposal Guidance RSCH 8250 /8251 Advanced Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis In order to demonstrate your application of concepts learned in this course, you will complete a research proposal. This will be a much abbreviated version of what you will complete for either your doctoral study or dissertation and a more advanced version of what you created in the foundational quantitative methods course. For example, the literature review that you conduct in support of your actual doctoral capstone project will be much more complete than what you will write for this course
