“…In a proposal one needs to show how the researcher's work fits into what is already known about the topic and what new paradigm will it add to the literature, while specifying the research question that research will answer, establishing its significance and its implications to answer the questions (Nte & Awi, 2006). The written proposal should be capable enough to persuade the evaluation committee on credibility, achievability, practicality and reproducibility of the research design (Saunderlin, 1994).…”

Simple descriptive tools, content analysis and tables have been used for analysis of data. A research proposal is a detail description of a proposed study designed to explore a given problem. An excellent carved proposal has more possibility of persuading the evaluation committee on credibility, achievability, practicality and reproducibility of the research design as the evaluation committees may constitute academic colleagues, policy makers, practitioners and lay audience who potentially evaluate the research proposal. The first class research proposal includes practicality, broader linking, crystal clarity and good plan and also contains the concern literatures that support the study as well as writer’s thought explaining all about the time needed to conduct the each stage of the research.

“…A proposal needs to show how your work fits into what is already known about the topic and what new paradigm will it add to the literature, while specifying the question that the research will answer, establishing its significance, and the implications of the answer. [ 2 ] The proposal must be capable of convincing the evaluation committee about the credibility, achievability, practicality and reproducibility (repeatability) of the research design. [ 3 ] Four categories of audience with different expectations may be present in the evaluation committees, namely academic colleagues, policy-makers, practitioners and lay audiences who evaluate the research proposal.…”

Writing the proposal of a research work in the present era is a challenging task due to the constantly evolving trends in the qualitative research design and the need to incorporate medical advances into the methodology. The proposal is a detailed plan or ‘blueprint’ for the intended study, and once it is completed, the research project should flow smoothly. Even today, many of the proposals at post-graduate evaluation committees and application proposals for funding are substandard. A search was conducted with keywords such as research proposal, writing proposal and qualitative using search engines, namely, PubMed and Google Scholar, and an attempt has been made to provide broad guidelines for writing a scientifically appropriate research proposal.
