This document has been set up to assist you in preparing the text for your research proposal. It is NOT intended as a document to guide you through your research proposal development, but to assist you in setting out the proposal, in terms of text layout, section headings and sub-sections.

The Research Proposal is a complete description of the intended research, developed under the supervision of the assigned supervisor. Through the full proposal, the student needs to demonstrate convincingly that the study will make a contribution to a public health issue or problem. The full research proposal must be between 4 pages and should present the following:

 Title  Brief Introduction  Background and statement of the problem (this in the light of a thorough literature review)  Research question or hypothesis, aim and objectives  Study design (type of study)  Study population and sampling  Data collection methods and instruments  Data analysis methods – if applicable statistical planning must be fully addressed, or the candidate should provide evidence that statistics are not required.  Mechanisms to assure the quality of the study – e.g. control of bias, safe storage of data  Study period

– Timetable for completion of the project  Participants in the study – all people involved in the study, and the role they play, should be identified.*  Ethical considerations  Resources required for the study, including budget if applicable  References  Appendices (copy of questionnaire, consent forms, etc.) How to use this template: The template provides ALL the sections, headings and subheadings that you will require in your proposal, as well as the line and paragraph spacing, page breaks, page numbering, referencing system and referencing styles. You should simply edit the text where appropriate and insert your own text as per your proposal, i.e simply type into the document. Do not attempt to change the styles for the headings or subheadings, and do not attempt to use more than three level headings (i.e A main heading, a sub-heading and a sub-sub-heading).
