Q: How to write a research proposal on sawmill machinery incidents?
I am writing a research proposal for the first time. My research topic is "Assessing the incidents caused by sawmill machinery to employees in the plank production department." Please help me write the proposal.
The aim of a research proposal would be to present and justify the requirement of the proposed study and to describe the practical ways or experiments in which the proposed study would be conducted. In our archives, you will find detailed suggestions on how to write a research proposal (see the reading list below). Briefly, you may look for any gap in the current knowledge base and also the research trends in your field of interest, which for this case I assume is sawmill machinery, and narrow down the topic. Since your topic is already decided, ensure you provide enough rationale for conducting the proposed study in your research proposal.
In the research proposal, include an extensive literature review section, which would provide the necessary background information. For this purpose, you may conduct an internet-based search. In addition, please provide an outline of the study design, the methodology which will be used, and a timeline of the research. Also, add a section on the anticipated outcome and the applicability of your research. Depending on the guidelines or instruction of the funding agency or organization or institutes where you plan to submit the proposal, the exact formats of the proposal would vary. For example, you may also need to provide a detailed description of financial and resource-related aspects of the proposed research.
