The Research Proposal must be a 1,050- to 1,400-word proposal formatted according to APA 6th ed. guidelines. The Learning Team must identify a problem worthy of research and develop an outline of the process required to research it. No actual experiments must be conducted.
The Research Proposal must contain the following sections:
