Research Project Proposals KLA720
Introduction
In this unit students will, with assistance and supervision, develop skills associated with obtaining research funding. Students will develop a research proposal for a small project, such as would be submitted to a research agency. Skills will be developed in identifying relevant research topics, appropriate funding bodies and developing project budgets. The proposal will including background to the proposed research, aims and objectives, experimental methods and justification for their selection, expected outcomes and benefits, resources required and their cost, timelines, and how the results will be communicated. The literature review conducted, and budget and timeline identified, will be useful when continuing onto Masters thesis projects when available.
