Discussion: Proposing a Research Study

The ABC Community Health Program is pleased to announce a grant funding opportunity for new health researchers interested in investigating health problems affecting priority populations.

Successful applicants will receive a $200,000 grant to fund activities over a 2½ year period to cover both salary and research activities. Funding is available for any research with a strong defined need, which should be clearly outlined in the proposal.

Priority will be given to those proposals that specifically describe the research hypothesis and question(s), the research methodology, the sampling and measurement methods, and the potential ethical issues that might arise during the research.

The research proposal, which can be a maximum of five pages, must include the following sections:

Introduction (project title, topic, priority population, research question, significance of research)

Literature Review (previous research on topic and population, unanswered questions)

Methodology

Overview of the approach

Research population

Sampling procedures

Measurement (type of data collected, strategy for data collection)

Potential threats to validity and reliability of data

Ethical considerations

All proposals will be evaluated by a Peer Reviewer using the Peer Review Evaluation Form Preview the document. Researchers are encouraged to review the form for details on how each of the sections are weighted and additional guidance on how each section will be evaluated by the reviewer.

For your discussion post, create a research proposal that you would submit for funding. Your proposal should be a maximum of five pages and address each of the sections listed in the request for proposals.
