Focusing on your placement organisation and providing evidence of consultation with your placement organisation, your research proposal should present and justify your investigation of a specific issue/ topic in your workplace and reflect on why this topic is of particular interest or relevance to you.

1) Title - what is the working title of your work-based project? Make sure your title conveys what you propose your project will do. This will use at least one action verb. 2) Introduction and Research Context - address each of the following areas: a) Briefly introduce yourself and then outline the proposal's structure. b) What is the organisational setting for / context of your project? Organisation type/sector? Number of employees? Geographical location? 'Set the scene' for your reader so they understand the context you are working in and the setting for your project. Do not name your organisation. c) What steps have you taken to consult with your organisation? Who are the key stakeholders you consulted with, and why were they important? d) As a result of the consultation(s) with your organisation, what issue or problem will your work-based project examine? What is your project about or trying to achieve?

e) Why are you interested in the chosen issue and topic? Critically reflect upon how the issue / topic interacts with your own personal, professional and career development. f) What are the aim and objectives of your project? g) What research question(s) does your project aim to answer? h) (Where appropriate) What hypothesis/es will your research test? 3) Research Rationale - Why is this topic important for your organisation to know more about? What is the rationale and/or literary justification for your topic choice? This section should be indicative. You need to identify the landmark studies in your topic area and describe how these relate to the issue/ topic you intend to look at in your own organisational context. You are not expected to have thoroughly read and absorbed all the books and papers you discuss, but you will obviously need to know what the current trends, ideas and/or discussions within the literature are.

4) Methodology - You must cover each of the 10 points below: 1. What research paradigm does your research belong to? 2. How has this informed your choice of methodology, or procedures? 3. How has this informed your choice of research methods or tools? 4. Who are you generating/gathering data from? (Population and study sample) 5. How many people are you generating/gathering data from? (sample size) 6. How will you choose the people you are gathering/generating data from? What criteria will you use? (selection of sample) 7. How will you collect/gather your data? Why? Where? When? 8. In consideration of ethics, what ethical and practical considerations do you need to be aware of in relation to: a) work-based research in general, and b) specific issues arising from your own workplace? How do you plan to address these? 9. How will you secure consent from your participants? 10. What analytical procedure(s) and tools will you use to analyse your data? Why?

5) Research Plan / Schedule - allowing for slippage time, provide a detailed step-by-step plan of the key stages of your research project, including your individual supervision time. You may wish to show these key milestones on a Gantt chart.
