All seniors interested in using community-based research (CBR) as their graduation requirement, are required to submit proposals and receive approval before they can proceed. Although empirical research proposals follow APA style, community-based research proposals may differ somewhat; the method section needs a subheading called “site description,” for example. \u00a0At the minimum, a proposal should include the following in roughly the same order:<\/p>\n
1. An introduction that includes a three- to five-page summary of research that may be relevant to the work. For example, if you are working with autistic children at Margaret Murphy,\u00a0you may not be 100% sure of your research focus, but you will review the research literature on autism in the age group you will work with.<\/p>\n
2. A method section that includes a description of the site\/agency\/workplace of your community partner. If you know what kind of data collection you will do, it belongs here.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0If you know what kind of data you will collect, here is where you describe your results and how you will analyze them.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0A brief discussion of what your results may mean to your community partner.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0A statement of any other work you may produce for your community partner.<\/p>\n
6. References should be in American Psychological Association format (see Manual).<\/p>\n
Please note that the seminar instruction sets a due date for these proposals. It is usually a little later than other proposals in order to allow time for communication with community partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
