1. Draft a research proposal that tells us what you want to research, how you intend to do it, and why it is worth doing.

2. Your research proposal must outline the nature of your proposed study and give some indication of how you will conduct your research.

3. A good PhD proposal will explain clearly (i) what the research aims to achieve and what it is about; (ii) why the research is important and in what way it is original or new, and (iii) how the research is to be conducted (methodology)

Title: A short, indicative title is best.

I have decided to concentrate on U.S – Africa Relations, most especially growth, poverty reduction, and development in the West Africa region, beneficiary U.S initiative programs in other to develop the African continent. The research proposal is more of a development project on American Policy in Africa, Fundamentals of New Approach in U.S – Africa Relations, Promoting U.S Economic Relations with Africa, Transforming the U.S – Africa Commercial Relationship.
Apart from that, the choice of West Africa might be too big. Is there a case or case studies or a single policy initiative that we could used to test the hypothesis?

I strongly recommend the proposal is to perhaps hone in on a particular aspect of U.S trade and development policy in the region e.g. a specific “Aid for Trade” initiative? Or a new policy approach under UN SDGs? It might be worthwhile also thinking of a case study focus e.g. interviews in two or three West African countries to speak with business people/communities impacted by U.S policies? Usually case studies with interviews like these can help you provide original empirical evidence central to the thesis.

Please note:
I need the writer to scratch out certain part, like theories of imperialism in the original paper. Introducing imperialism at this stage seems premature and raises more questions than it answers.
I have uploaded a copy of the word document with the file name (Research Proposal) that needs to be revised and also samples of research proposal.
The page number (1) should start from the introduction page. The word count should include the reference page. I have also attached below samples of a research proposal. Thank you.
I need the research proposal to meet criteria in other to be considered for an offer for my proposed PhD program. Thank you.

The proposal looks quite promising so far, with good attention to methodology and research design. The theoretical framework, however, needs more attention. Thank you.
