Remember how, in a structured essay, right after the thesis you would pr
esent the organisation of your essay, by enumerating the main arguments
you were going to present? Same thing should happen in a RP. After stati
ng your thesis, you should give a short account of your answers to those
three questions mention earlier. State, in a few phrases, what will be
learned from your research, that your project will make a difference, an
d why is that important to be known. You will have to elaborate on both
of these later in the paper.
The next step in writing your proposal is to prove that that particular
piece of research has not been done yet. This section is usually called
Literature Review. Inside it, you have to enumerate and critically analy
ze an impressive list of boring bibliography. The conclusion you should
- objectively! - reach is that your idea of research has not been undert
aken yet. Even more, you use this opportunity to prove solid theoretical
knowledge in the field, and build the theoretical bases of your project
. One tip: don't review all the articles and books in the fields even if
you mention them in the bibliography list; pay attention in your analys
is to those you will build on. Another one: avoid jargon when writing yo
ur RP. The chances are great that the person(s) who will read your and a
nother 1000 research proposals are not specialists in that very field -
niche you are examining. If you are applying for a grant with or foundat
ion or something similar, it might happen that those reading your paper
are not even professors, but recruiters, donors, etc. And even if they a
ctually are professors, one of the reasons busy people like them agree t
o undertake a huge, and sometimes voluntary, work, is the desire to meet
some diversity, some change from their work - so maybe they'll read app
lications for another specialisation. The capacity to get your message a
cross in clear, easy-to-grasp concepts and phrases is one of the winning
papers' most important advantages.
So far, you have proven you have a research idea, that you are familiar
with the field, and that your idea is new. Now, why should your project
be worth researching? Because it advances knowledge, ok. But is this kno
wledge that anybody will need? Maybe nobody knows for sure how the shoel
aces were being tied in the XIXth century, but who cares, beyond two lac
