4 parts:

Research Question (maximum 175 words): Include your research question
Literature Review (maximum 1200 words): Make sure it meets the following criteria:
Your literature review is both a summary and explanation of the knowledge on a limited topic. Learn more about how to write a literature review.
Your literature review “sets the stage” for your research question. What is already known about your subject/topic? Present a body of knowledge that sets the context for your own research.
For your literature review, use as many references as you like, but preferably no less than five (5). Be selective with your resources; the quality of the references and how you use them are more important than quantity. Quality refers to the material being published – usually peer reviewed, such as books and journal articles.
Your literature review must include in-text citation.
Methodology (Methods + Logic) (maximum 250 words): Include a couple paragraphs that outline and explain your proposed methods. In other words, what are you going to do to answer your question? Be realistic; pretend you only have four (4) months to answer your research question. Your methods can include anything from reading more literature to getting out into the organizational field and collecting different forms of data. Include in this section a short explanation of the ‘logic’ behind your methods; why do your proposed methods make sense for your particular question?
