Online Dissertation Proposal Workshop





Examples

Tips and advice are well and good, but aspiring proposal writers often want to see how all these coalesce around specific research questions and contexts. What is included here are a few examples of successful (i.e., grant winning) research proposals to different institutions. We have also asked the proposalsÌ authors -- all who have now returned from "the field" -- for their insights and reflections on their proposals and the process of writing and implementing them. These commentaries are also included here.

There is no one "right" way to write a proposal, and a new proposal must ask an original question and promise new insights. The proposals we include here are not meant to be templates in terms of content or structure. They are simply meant as manifestations of the themes and advice offered elsewhere.

The proposals are in PDF; you can download a PDF reader free from Adobe
