Having identified a population, an issue/problem that relates to that specific population, and then gathered academic resources that relate to the issue, you will now be asked to propose a statistical research project that directly relates to the social issue you identified for your selected population.

• Plan a research study, describing in detail what you want to measure and why.
• Determine a realistic timeline for the completion of your project.
• Describe the individuals who would be involved in your study.
• Explain how many people would be needed to conduct the research project from a staffing perspective.
• Determine which statistical analysis method (e.g., statistical tests/measurements) would be most appropriate for your application, and elucidate why you chose this method.
• Determine how many subjects you would require for your study and explain how you arrived at that number.
• Evaluate the importance of your proposed research study, and describe how the resulting data could best be used and which organizations or agencies will benefit best from it.
