Possible solution
You have 10 mins to dothis
Dissect and brainstorm
on the concept of a
specific social problem
and propose a solution.
Another way to evaluate your idea is
to write a concept paper: a 2- to 5-
page overview of the problem you
want to address, the solution you are
proposing, and the rationale for
choosing both the problem and
solution.
The paper can be used as a starting
point for discussions about the topic,
serve as the basis for a source
search of potential funding agencies,
or be included in a query letter to a
foundation to create interest in your
proposal.
Concept paper is only four or five pages long
and focuses on the visualization and expression
of the basic ideas that should drive theproject.
It serves as a prelude to a full paper. The full
paper may be a thesis, a program, a project, or
anything that will require a longer time to
prepare. It is an embodiment of your ideas on a
certain topic or item of interest.
Elements of a concept Paper:
1. A Rationale
What prompted you to prepare the
concept paper?
Why is the issue of such importance?
What should you be able to produce out of
your intended study?
2. A Conceptual Framework
