Writing a research proposal: the critical first step for successful clinical research.
The proposal is a key element in the thesis or clinical research project. It identifies what is to be studied, why the topic is relevant, and how the research will be conducted. The proposal is a detailed plan or "blueprint" for the intended study, and once it is completed, the research project should flow smoothly. Writing a proposal may seem like a daunting undertaking, but a little thought and preparation will make it easier. In this article, the author provides a sample research proposal and a set of instructions that the beginning researcher should find helpful.
