RESEARCH PROPOSAL
A research proposal is a document that provides a detailed description of the intended
program. It is like an outline of the entire research process that gives a reader a summary
of the information discussed in a project.
Document that is typically written by a scientist or academic which describes the ideas
for an investigation on a certain topic. The research proposal outlines the process from
beginning to end and may be used to request financing for the project, certification for
performing certain parts of research of the experiment, or as a required task before
beginning a college dissertation.
