title: Neuroscience nursing: designing the research proposal.
abstract: Writing a research proposal for a neuroscience nursing research project is much the same as writing a proposal for any other kind of research project. The same information is included in all proposals. Differences for the neuroscience nurse researcher include the nature of problems investigated (effects of various nursing care strategies on intracranial pressure, for example) and the nature of the target population, many of whom are cognitively impaired, very ill or both. More time may be involved in the collection of data from neurologically impaired persons than from normal persons.
