• • Description of the program or issue to be investigated: What is the problem you are addressing or the program you are evaluating? This section might contain statistics of prevalence or incidence.
  • Statement and documentation of the significance of the program or issue and the rationale for studying it relative to social work: This part should describe why the problem is important or present evidence of the impact of the problem for society.
  • Purpose of the proposed studyformal statement of research question(s): Your question should be "well-built." It can't be vague or unclear; it must tell the reader precisely what you would like to investigate. The question cannot be an answer to a fact (e.g., "What is the poverty rate in Ohio compared to the poverty rate in the U.S.?") and cannot "discover" something that we already know from prior studies. You may have a research question and a hypothesis. When possible, utilize a directional hypothesis.

2. Literature review minimum of 3researcharticle references that should be included in your paper; Note: while this draft requires only three research references, at the end of the term your final paper must include a minimum of six references)

• • Summary and integration of related research and findings/identified gaps in the literature: You should summarize what you have learned about the topic and identify the gap(s) in our knowledge on the topic. (The discussion section of research articles is a good place to find these gaps.) The gaps you find in the literature should help you build your rationale for the study. Why is your study needed and what will it contribute to our knowledge base?
  • Framework for the proposed study, including conceptual definitions of major concepts if needed which helps define the parameters of your proposed studyits limits.
