• Research refers to a search for knowledge
• Research means a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic
• In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation.
• The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of scientific procedures
![Page 4: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Type of Research study• To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to
achieve new insights into it (Exploratory or formulative research studies
• To describe accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group (Descriptive research studies)
• To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else (Diagnostic research studies)
• To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables (Hypothesis-testing research studies).
![Page 5: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Descriptive research includes surveys and fact-finding
enquiries. The main characteristic of this method is that
the researcher has no control over the variables; he can
only report what has happened or what is happening
• In analytical research, on the other hand, the researcher has to
use facts or information already available, and analyze these to make
a critical evaluation of the material.
• Applied research aims at finding a solution for an
immediate problem facing a society or an industrial/business
organisation
• “Gathering knowledge for knowledge’s sake is termed ‘pure’ or
‘basic’ research.”

• Attitude or opinion research i.e., research designed to find out how people feel or what they think about a particular subject or institution is also qualitative research
• Empirical research is data-based research, experimental type of research. Such research is thus characterised by the experimenter’s control over the variables under study and his deliberate manipulation of one of them to study its effects
![Page 7: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• One-time research or longitudinal research
• Field-setting research or laboratory research or
• Simulation research
• Clinical or diagnostic research
• Historical research
• Conclusion-oriented
• and decision-oriented

RESEARCH PROPOSAL
• Any Medical research / Epidemiological study should have a proper proposal in written form before it is actually carried out• It is like a blue print of a building plan before the construction starts
![Page 9: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
•Writing a research proposal is both science and art•A good research proposal is based on scientific facts and on the art of clear communication
![Page 10: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Writing a formal research proposal should
be started by the time one has decided on
the topic for the study
![Page 11: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

![Page 13: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Objectives• This is a very important and pivotal section and everything else in the study is centered around it• The objective of the proposed study should be stated very clearly • The objective stated should be specific,
achievable and measurable• Too many objectives to be avoided• Even just one clearly stated relevant objective for a
study would be good enough • If there is more than one objective the objectives
can be presented in the appropriate order of importance
![Page 14: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Introduction
• The problem proposed to be studied
is introduced in this section
• It should help the reader to acquaint
with the topic
![Page 15: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Introduction should be short about one
or two pages
• The problem should be stated in such a
way that it’s importance and relevance
is realized by any one who reads it
![Page 16: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Background(Review of Literature)
• This section reflects extensive review of literature done by the investigator
• In this section what is already known about the topic is written including the lacunae
• Just quoting the literature verbatim will not serve the purpose
• It is important to make it coherent, relevant and easily readable knowledge
• It helps the investigator to gain good knowledge in that field of inquiry
• It also helps the investigator to have insight on different methodologies that could be applied
![Page 17: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Research methodology
Research methodology is a way to
systematically solve the research problem. It
may be understood as a science of studying
how research is done scientifically
![Page 18: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods/techniques but also the methodology.
• Researchers not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests and how to calculate the mean, the mode, the median or the standard deviation or chi-square etc.,
![Page 19: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
It is essential to discuss procedures clearly
and completely with considerable amount
of details
![Page 20: Dear Sir/Madam, This power point presentation on Research proposal will be an excellent resource for students doing research. My best wishes DR.I.SELVARAJ.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d885503460f94a6d584/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
