Instructions
An introduction section sets the stage for your full research proposal by explaining what you plan to study and why it matters. This week, students will complete a first draft of the Introduction section. This section should clearly introduce the topic, explain its significance, and outline the purpose of the proposed study.
Your introduction should include:
- A hook that draws the reader into the topic
- A discussion of why the topic is important, unique, or policy-relevant
- A clear thesis statement that explains what the proposed research will examine (e.g., In this research proposal, I will examine)
By the end of the introduction, the reader should understand the focus of your study and why it is worth conducting. The Introduction section should be about 1 page long.
Feedback will be provided so this section can be revised and incorporated directly into your final research proposal.
Requirements: 1 page
