    Research Proposal Template

    1. A Heading/Title

    You have to provide a heading/title for your proposed research. This would only be a provisional
    heading/title which could be revised once the admission process is completed and your course
    begins.

    2. A Summary or Abstract

    Your research proposal should begin with a short summary of your entire research project. The
    summary should be around 100 words in length. Your summary could be a couple of sentences
    stating the central topic/issue that you intend to base your research upon.

    3. An Overview and Context

    You should provide a summarized overview of your research topic in this section along with a
    bit of background on your specific area of research.  You could provide a short description of the
    present understanding of your topic as it stands as well as any recent discussions related to it.
    This would show your selection committee that you are familiar with your topic.

    4. Goals and Inquiries

    Your research proposal should clearly state your goals in researching the topic as well as the line
    of inquiry that you are likely to follow over the period of your research. Hence, think over the
    issue beforehand and understand for yourself what you wish to attain through your research and
    then begin writing your research proposal. If you’re left with not one but a set of issues on your
    research topic after your brainstorming session, place them in order of preference or priority and
    then fix your main research topic and any secondary issues that you would like to deal with over
    the course of your research.  Don’t make your research topic too broad-based otherwise, it will
    lack focus and depth. Besides making your research too broad-based will lower its chances of
    being completed within a normal degree period and hence increase the likelihood of its getting
    rejected by the selection committee. You could also specify here whether your research approach
    would be hypothetical, experimental or according to the book.

    5. Research Methodology

    Your research proposal should have a section dedicated to detailing the methodology that you
    propose to follow to achieve your research goals. Your research methodology could involve
    taking field trips, interviewing personalities or people in general, paying visits to specific
    archives or libraries, etc. If the research that you propose to do is likely to be confined to a
    library you could list out your main sources of information such as periodicals, journals, reports,
    and so on, and also state which libraries you would find them in. Similar details would have to be
    provided in case your primary research methodology involved field trips (such as where and
    when you intended to carry out these trips and what information you hoped to gain from them) or
    interviewing subjects (whom you were likely to interview, how many interviews would you need
    to conduct to gather your data). You would also have to explain here how you would conduct
    your analysis of the data collected.

    6. Importance of Your Research

    The uniqueness of your research would be one of the main deciding factors for the selection
    committee to approve/reject your proposal. Hence spare no effort in proving its originality in
    your research proposal. Explain how and why it would make a difference in the field of study
    and possibly the world at large.

    7. A Short Bibliography

    Your research proposal should also provide a tentative bibliography stating the significant
    books/articles/documents that you would be referring to in the course of your research.
