Abstract
One of the goals of this book is to help prepare a graduate student to develop a research proposal. The research proposal components are an abstract, specific aims, introduction (background and significance; and supporting evidence), and methods. Chapters 1 through 4 in this text pertain specifically to the body of the research proposal. Other chapters relate to various facets of planning a study: hypotheses, designs, measurements, and statistical analyses. This chapter attempts to bring the proposal together.
