This document provides guidance on writing a research proposal. It discusses the purpose and format of a research proposal, including that it should be written in the future tense and follow APA style. The standard sections of a research proposal are outlined as an introduction, background, methodology, and references. Specific formatting guidelines are also provided, such as double-spacing, font size, and margins. Sample chapter outlines are given to illustrate the typical structure and components of a research proposal.
