FAQs: Research Proposal Template

Research proposal template faqs, what types of research proposals can this template be used for.

The proposal template follows the standard format for academic research projects, which means it will be suitable for the vast majority of dissertations and theses (especially those within the sciences), whether they are qualitative or quantitative in terms of design.

Keep in mind that the exact requirements for the introduction chapter/section will vary between universities and degree programs. These are typically minor, but it’s always a good idea to double-check your university’s requirements before you finalise your structure.

Is this template for an undergrad, Master or PhD-level proposal?

This template can be used for a research project at any level of study. Doctoral-level projects typically require the research proposal to be more extensive/comprehensive, but the structure will typically remain the same.

How long should my research proposal be?

The length of a research proposal varies by institution and subject, but as a ballpark, it’s usually between 1,500 and 3,000 words.

To be safe, it’s best to check with your university if they have any preferences or requirements in terms of minimum and maximum word count for the research propsal.

How detailed should the methodology of the proposal be?

You don’t need to go into the fine details of your methodology, but this section should be detailed enough to demonstrate that your research approach is feasible and will address your research questions effectively. Be sure to include your intended methods for data collection and analysis.

Can I include preliminary data or pilot study results in my proposal?

Generally, yes. This can strengthen your proposal by demonstrating the feasibility of your research. However, make sure that your pilot study is approved by your university before collecting any data.

Can I share this template with my friends/colleagues?

Expropriation of private land rights involves two contradictory interests. On one side, there is a public need for land; on the other side landholders need the provision of tenure security and protection of their private property rights. Thus, it needs to keep a balance between them. To create the intended balance, legislation has to authorize the government to expropriate land rights for clear and limited public purpose under the supervision of an independent body. In this article the writer will argue that the rural land laws of Ethiopia have defined the public purpose for expropriation of rural land rights in different manner depending on the nature of the landholders. For peasants and pastoralists the public purpose requirement is defined vaguely and broadly leaving its component to be determined by public authority. However, for investors the concept is limited to the projects implemented by the government. Moreover, the writer argues that the protection of private property rights and provision of land tenure security of holders is further undermined due to the legislation failure to authorize the affected people from taking an appeal to an independent body objecting the fact that the project to which the private rural landholding is expropriated does not satisfy the public purpose requirement.

Abstract The contribution of the mining sector to the Ethiopian economy has been dismal. This situation is being reversed with the mining sector’s contribution to the Ethiopian economy growing significantly in recent years reflecting the sector’s potential to spur the economic growth of the country. Many factors including the legal reforms that have taken place over the last two decades played major roles for the growth of the mining sector’s contribution to the Ethiopian economy. This article addresses the current legal framework governing minerals in Ethiopia. It examines the extent to which the laws try to strike a balance between rights of investors and the public interest with a particular focus on social and environmental considerations. The overall examination and analysis reveals that while the legal reforms have undergone substantial transformation to allure investors in the sector, some problems related to implementation of rights and obligations remain a concern. Moreover, social and environmental considerations are also poorly addressed.
