Hi,

I have prepared a rough cut and need you to write the paper for me.

Suggested Public Health Research Methods research proposal template – primary research studies

Please note that this is a generic research proposal template only. As such, the exact structure and contents of your proposal will very possibly vary according to (a) the type of study you are proposing and (b) the input and guidance that you receive from your supervisor. In total your research proposal should be 4,000 words, written in Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri font (size 12), 1.5 lines spacing, and 2.54 cm margins space (top, bottom, left and right margins). Furthermore, please ensure that you are familiar with the Public Health Research Methods grading profile. Finally, please note that your title page, contents page, abstract, references and appendices do not count towards your assignment word limit.

Title page
The must include the name of the unit, the assignment (research proposal), the title of your proposed study, date and your full name (with your student number)

Contents page

Abstract (250-300 words)
Your abstract should aim to succinctly summarise key background literature, your rationale, aims, proposed method and potential implications.

Introduction (1000-1250 words)
– Succinctly and explicitly state what study you are proposing to carry out
– Provide key background literature. You should try to take a ‘funnel’ approach to describing and critically evaluating key background literature to your study. This involves starting with general and broadly relevant literature, then progressively citing literature which is more and more specific, and finally by providing literature which is most specifically relevant to your study
– Provide an explicit and convincing rationale as to why this study is important to carry out. State what the possible implications your proposed study might have for public health, and what contribution it adds to the existing body of knowledge in this area. Your rationale should be at least partially based on the background literature that you have introduced.
– State your research question, research aim(s) and study objective(s).

Method (1000-1250 words)
– Research design/approach: Begin by explicitly stating your proposed study design/approach. Explain what this design/approach means and provide a clear justification for its choice.
– Sampling: State your target population and your proposed sampling strategy. Explain what your sampling strategy means and why it has been chosen.
– Data collection tools/instruments: Describe what data collection tools/instruments you will use. If you are creating a study-specific data collection tool, explain what type of data the tool will aim to collect, and provide rationale for not using a pre-existing instrument.
– Procedure: Describe your proposed study procedure. How exactly will you collect your data?
– Gantt chart: Insert a Gantt chart in order to make it clear to the reader when each stage of the study will be carried out
– Ethical considerations: Describe the ethical issues which are pertinent and relevant to your study. Explain what each issue means, why they are important and relevant in this study, and how you will address each of them during the study.
– Analysis: Described your proposed data analysis method. Explain what your proposed analysis means and why it has been chosen.

Discussion (1000-1250 words)
– Reflect on possible findings: Describe these reflections and critically evaluate their potential implications for public health policy and practice.
– Limitations: Describe the limitations of your proposed study, with a particular focus on methodological limitations and what implications they have. This is an important subsection as it is one way of evidencing your ability to think critically, and helps the reader understand how powerful this study’s potential findings might be.
– Dissemination: What are your ideas for dissemination? Be specific about the conferences and/or journals you wish to target.

Conclusion (250-500 words)
– Synthesise your proposed study by succinctly summarising key rationale, aims, proposed methods, potential findings and implications, and limitations.
– Future research: What are the potential future research studies that might follow on from your proposed study?
– Final thoughts: Provide any concluding thoughts and remarks.

References
– Using the Harvard referencing system, carefully and accurately provide a list of references for all of the literature that you have cited in this proposal.

Appendices
Insert any proposed questionnaires, drafts of informed consent and/or participant information sheets
