title: Research in primary dental care. Part 5: devising a proposal, obtaining funding and ethical considerations.
abstract: In previous articles, we have considered how to formulate a research question and choose an appropriate methodological approach to answer that question, including the use of evidence-based research instruments or measurement scales. In this article, we put this information together in the form of a research proposal and consider how to obtain funding for the research project, as well as fulfil ethical requirements.
