RESEARCH PROPOSAL

Learn
Before we embark on a research, we must first prepare a research proposal of the intended research.

Unlearn
We could not simply embark on a research without a plan. Thus the research proposal has a purpose in helping to justify the reason for intended research.

Relearn
The research proposal is simply a plan for conducting a research where it serves several purposes. First it allows the researcher to document the logic supporting the various decisions made during the previous stages of the research process.
Second, the proposal must justify the investment in the research.
Third, the proposal is often used to persuade other people to support the research.
The proposal also provides for the resources needed and schedule of timelines for completion of the research study,
