COMPONENTS OF A MEDICAL RESEARCH PROPOSAL

COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH PROPOSAL:  So much we have talked about the medical research proposal and how to start with the research project.  It will be very important for any upcoming researcher to be well versed with each entity of the research proposal before any writing can take place. On this page, we are giving an outline and a brief description of what is expected to be in a full written medical proposal.  At this point, I am expecting a student to have got their research topic approved by the research and ethics committee.  Follow the link below for ethical issues and considerations in research

CHAPTER ONE

1.0  Introduction:  Here, a student will be expected to outline the components of the very first chapter in order to give the reader some kind of organization.

1.1  Background of the study:  The background of the study gives a summary of the description for the research project.  It should be not more than 1 and half pages and about 3 paragraphs.

1.2  Problem statement:  The problem statement is a summery of the reason that triggered the medical student to conduct the research study.  I have discussed a lot about it and if you want to read about it in details, click on the link below.
