Struggling to Write Your Research Proposal? You’re Not Alone.

Writing research proposals can feel like an uphill battle.

For many students, a research project is the biggest and most important academic milestone they face before leaving university. The stakes are high. Your grades, your confidence, and even your future opportunities can hinge on getting it right.

Yet, so many find themselves staring at a blank page, unsure how to begin, what to include, or how to present their ideas in a way that stands out. Crafting a research proposal can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to meet academic expectations and tight deadlines.

Why does this happen?

It's because proposal writing isn't something most students are explicitly taught—it's just assumed you know how to do it.

This leaves students relying on guesswork, which leads to wasted time, effort, and frustration. Without a clear structure or guidance, even highly motivated students can feel stuck and unsure. The consequence of this struggle is more than just wasted time.

You will know you're in this position because you will experience these problems:

🎯 Difficulty knowing how to start your proposal.

🎯 Trouble organizing your ideas into a logical flow.

🎯 Confusion about what evaluators are looking for.

🎯 Stress over how to manage your timeline and research activities.

These challenges lead to stress, missed deadlines, and lower confidence. They can make students feel like they’re not cut out for research, even when they have great ideas.

Left unchecked, these struggles can create a cycle of underperformance, holding students back from achieving their full academic potential and risking the success of the most critical project of their academic journey.

The Solution: Templates That Take the Guesswork Out of Research Proposals

But what if there were a simple solution? Imagine having a clear, step-by-step guide for creating your research proposal that takes the guesswork out of the process.

Templates provide exactly that: a roadmap to success.

They break the proposal process into manageable steps, showing students how to structure their ideas, stay organized, and confidently present their research plan.

Why do templates work so well?

It's because they save time and energy by giving students a proven framework to follow. They eliminate confusion and help students focus on refining their ideas instead of worrying about format or structure. Templates teach students not only how to write better proposals but how to plan and execute their research effectively.

The benefits of using templates are undeniable:

🎯 Eliminate the Guesswork: Templates offer clear guidance, so students always know what comes next.

🎯 Confidence: With a structured process, students feel equipped to handle every stage of their proposal.

🎯 Save Time: Templates streamline the process, allowing students to focus on their research.

🎯 Better Proposals: Well-organized proposals stand out and improve the chances of approval.

The ultimate outcome?

Students who use templates develop stronger research skills, gain confidence, and achieve better academic results. They save time, reduce stress, and get back on track to submitting a better research project than they could have even imagined.

Stop struggling with research proposals and start making progress. These templates are designed to simplify the process and set you up for success.

A useful default template for an undergraduate, honors, or masters-level research proposal in most social sciences subjects (e.g. Arts, Social Sciences, Psychology, Sociology, Criminology, Education, Teaching, Nursing, Communications, Archaeology, Geography, History, and more).

These templates are introduced in the YouTube video below.

Notes:

• General Draft Only: Check with your teacher or research supervisor about this structure and what sections they may expect to be added or removed based on the conventions in your particular field of study. I recommend bringing your draft to your supervisor for feedback as each institution and even each supervisor will have very particular ideas of what to include/exclude. While this template gets you started, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so you really do need guidance from your supervisor at every step.
• AI Prompt Warning: The AI Prompts are powerful, but they are provided to help you brainstorm and generate samples only. Never submit AI-generated content for assessment.
• Citing Academic Sources: You will need to extensively cite academic sources to back up your points made.
• Theoretical Framework: In the humanities, you may also be expected to have a theoretical framework. This is generally discussed toward the top of the ‘Research Methodology’ section. If you have been told you need to include a theoretical framework, consult your supervisor on how to do this.
• Secondary Research Projects: If you have chosen to do a secondary research project, use my alternative template for secondary research proposals which I’ve tweaked to be specifically useful in those situations.
