Process of creating specific statements pertaining to the aims of the research
Formulation of objectives
Involves a series of methodological decisions that is based on the research objectives; would dictate the validity and credibility of the results of the study;
Methodology, time table, budget
Designing and planning
Determining the gap in knowledge based on methods and results of existing related literature
Formulation of questions
Involves thinking, reading, theorizing, rethinking, and discussing your ideas with colleagues and experts in the field or in your topic of interest; Conceiving your proposed study
Conceptual
A function of the research proposal where the approved proposal serves a bond of agreement between the investigator and source of fund or agency or adviser or ethical review committee
Contract
A function of the research proposal where the Proposal communicates the investigator’s intentions and research plans to relevant personalities; between the researchers and beneficiaries and between the researchers and supervisors
Communication
Systematic way of finding an answer to your question. It is the utilization of comparison, soliciting opinion and testing skills to accomplish a task in a structural and scientific way.

Research must start based on?
Data
The structured process of investigating facts and theories and exploring connections. It proceeds in a systematic way to examine clinical conditions and outcomes, to establish relationships among clinical phenomena, to generate evidence for decision making and to provide the impetus for improving methods of practice.
Clinical research

TRUE OR FALSE: Research always has a proper systematic process of sequential steps that guide thinking, planning and analysis.
True

Describes the purpose of the study, the
importance of the research question, the research protocol and justifies the feasibility of the project.
Research proposal

Stage where researchers identify if they are
interested in studying a certain patient population, a specific type of intervention, a clinical theory, or a fundamental policy issue in the profession.

TRUE OR FALSE: The research question may be in the form of a statement or an interrogatory.
True

An indispensable instrument in initiating and
implementing a project. It is the careful, detailed account of the study procedures the serves as a guide throughout the data collection phase to ensure that the researchers follow the outlined rules of conduct.
Research proposal
TRUE OR FALSE: The research objectives must specifically and concisely delineate what the study is expected to accomplish.
