this study extends this work, and its originality and importance.
3) The project’s research questions, hypotheses and objectives.
4) A methods section discussing the project’s methodology/study approach, participant recruitment, data
collection and data analysis.
5) How and where the project’s finding will be disseminated.
6) An appropriate timeline for the project and budget.
7) A summary of the research team (this will be a hypothetical team with appropriate training and skills to
successfully complete the research project) including experience, training and qualifications that are
related to the research project.
8) Relevant peer-reviewed articles and reference list.
