Doctoral students should use a qualitative template or a quantitative template* to prepare their research proposals.

*If you are a DNP student, please refer to your handbook for the appropriate proposal template. This guide is not intended for your program.

As candidates prepare for their research proposal presentation, it may be helpful to see how other doctoral candidates have presented their studies. Here are examples of successful research proposal presentations: 

• Dissertation Roadmap
• Selecting the committee
• Systematic review of the literature
• What is a dissertation proposal?
• Role of theory in the dissertation
