How to Write a Research Proposal in Biology: Everything You Might Need

The structure of a research proposal, the overall length, the number, titles and optimal word count of each
section, formatting conventions and other characteristics differ wildly depending on all kinds of factors:

1. Title

The title should be self-evident, short and definite, clearly delineating the field of study and the research
question.

2. Abstract

Usually up to 200 words. A very short and to the point summary of your proposed research.

3. Table of Contents

If your research proposal is large enough and contains numerous sections and subsections, it may be worth
including a table of contents. Keep in mind that this does not refer to the actual research project you
propose (there is a dedicated section for that purpose), but to the proposal itself. Include numbers of pages,
sections and subsections (e.g., 6.1, 6.2, etc.).

4. Introduction

Up to 400 words. The beginning of the main part of your proposal – just like any other introduction, it
should attract the reader’s attention, quickly move on to state the research problem and explain why it is
important and worth further investigation.
5. Literature Review

Depending on what kind of research you do (e.g., library-based or experiment-based), the size of this
section can be anything from 400 to 1500 words and beyond.
6. Project Purpose/Notion of Originality

Word count depends on your research, but usually it should be about the same size as the literature review.
This is your sales pitch, the section where you try to persuade the reader that your research is innovative,
original, feasible and will complement the field of study.

7. Main Objectives

It can be a part of the previous section or an independent part of the proposal, but its nature remains the
same: you express the main objectives or assertions of your research, one item at a time. Usually it takes the
form of a list, with single sentence expressing each assertion.

8. Methodology

Depending on the situation, it can take anything from 100 to 1000 words and more.
Here you give an account of how you are going to check your theory or resolve the research question.

9. Analysis

Usually up to 300-350 words. Similar to research methodology, but dedicated to the subsequent analysis of
the collected data. How will you process it? What approaches will you use?

11. Bibliography/Works Cited

The list of all the literature and other information sources you have used to prepare the research
proposal.
