It all starts with an idea.
Great ideas make great research and provide the researcher with the shapes for growing the idea in an organized fashion. Successful research ideas are interesting, important, researchable, and doable. This article describes one way of organizing great ideas into successful research by using the research process, beginning with conceptualization/design and literature review, and proceeding through the articulation of the framework, purpose, assumptions, limitations, definitions, and hypotheses/research questions. Following the logical progression of the conceptualization of the idea will help the researcher to complete the grant application and be ready to develop and execute the methodology of the study.
