Research Proposal (15%) – There are two components to the Research Proposal portion of your grade. The first portion is your presentation of your proposal mid-way through the semester. Though this presentation is ungraded, it is an invaluable opportunity to solicit critical feedback from your professor and colleagues before the written assignment is due and failure to present will result in a 20 point deduction on your research proposal. The second portion is your written proposal which will include a 1) Project Abstract, 2) Literature Review, 3) Expected Outcomes and Results, 4) Research and Methods, and 5) a Budget. The assignment should not be more than 3 single-spaced pages long. If you put a lot of thought into the assignment not only will you earn a good grade, but you will have the makings of a good Fulbright proposal as this proposal format is virtually identical to theirs.
- Project Abstract (15%) – Brief paragraph or two that tells your readers about the project you are proposing. You should find a way to highlight your research question and explain why an answer to it would be interesting to the scholarly community or public.
- Literature Review (30%) – You are entering a theoretical debate. Frame this debate by explaining the various positions and citing appropriate literature as examples of each position. It is from this debate that you take your hypotheses (answers to your research question). Broader debates (eg. What causes war?) are always more interesting than narrow debates (eg. What caused the war in Congo?) so this literature review need not get bogged down in the particular case(s) you hope to study.
- Expected Outcomes and Results (15%)– Your literature review summarizes the debate you are entering in narrative format. Your expected outcomes section offers very concise hypotheses drawn from this literature review in the H1: IV1 > DV1 format.
- Research and Methods (30%) – In your introduction you give your reader your research question; in your literature review you explain potential answers to this question; and in your research and methods section you tell your reader how you plan on figuring out which, if any, of these answers explain the real world better. To do this you should tell your reader which cases you are selecting to study and why. You should also be very specific about how you plan to measure the independent and dependent variables drawn from your hypotheses.
- Budget (10%) – Fulbright proposals tend to be for somewhere around $30,000. Figure out what you would need to complete your project and itemize and estimate prices for each of these needs. If your total figure is much more than $30,000 you will need to decide what is essential and what can be cut to bring your project in under budget.
