Evaluating an Early Draft of a Research Proposal
Review your proposal—or have a friend or colleague in your discipline check it—to be sure that your
proposal exhibits none of the following characteristics
FOR ANY RESEARCH PROPOSAL
The statement of the main problem (or question) is vague, or it is so obscured by discussions of
other topics that it is impossible to find-
The methodology is incompletely described; an explanation of exactly the research will be
conducted is not specifically delineated.
The proposed treatment of each subproblem is general and cursory; it does not convey clearly
how the data will be used and interpreted to address the subproblem or the overall research
problem.
The proposal lacks sharpness. It is not logically organized. Without clear sections delineate the
various aspects of the research project, it rambles. Readers have trouble isolating the discussion
of the main research problem or question, the subproblems, the related literature, the
methodology, the interpretation of the data, and other important parts of the proposal.
The proposal uses words and phrases that are too general, ambiguous, or imprecise to be useful
for evaluation. Without more clarification, such phrases as “tests will be given” and “statistical
procedures will be conducted” are largely meaningless.
The format of the proposal deviates from the guidelines set forth by the approval group or
funding agency.
Some cited sources do not appear in the reference list; alternatively, they are incompletely or
incorrectly cited.
FOR A PROPOSAL TO A FUNDING AGENCY
The problem does not address the research area outlined by the funding agency.
The section of the proposal explaining the study’s importance is not specific enough for the
funding agency to see the study’s relationship to the purpose for which a grant is requested.
A clear and explicit budget statement outlining program expenditures is lacking, or the summary
of estimated costs is ambiguous and indefinite.
Items included in the budget are disallowed by the terms of the grant-
The proposal is too ambitious for the grant money available.
