*NOTE THE PROFESSOR WILL ASSIGN YOU YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT!
Section 1: Introduction (New Section Level I Header – New Page)
The proposed topic must be substantive and directly reflect the issues. Introduce the topic in two or more paragraphs. Establish the main ideas and context and include recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed sources to support each assertion. The Introduction should orient the reader to all of the concepts that will be presented in the sections that follow.
Background (Level II Header)
Describe the facts and relevant context as a background leading up to the study problem and purpose. Include appropriate, recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed sources to support each assertion. (2 page maximum).
Statement of the Problem (Level II Header)
The problem statement is a brief discussion of a problem and documenting the need to conduct the study. Clearly describe and document the problem that prompts the study purpose (The problem statement should be approximately 250 to 300 words).
Purpose Statement (Level II Header)
The purpose statement should be one concise paragraph that describes the intent of the case study followed by an overview of the study design. Ensure that within the purpose statement the research method is identified as qualitative or quantitative (The purpose statement should be approximately 250 to 300 words).
Measurement (Level II Header)
Provide a brief description of how study data will be collected; measured and analyzed (The measurement section should be approximately 150 to 300 words).
Significance of the Study (Level II Header)
Describe why the study is important and the contribution(s) it will make to the organization. This section should reflect the need for the study and the benefits of an answer to the proposed study purpose and research questions. The discussion should align with the problem statement in that, the problem statement articulates the negative consequences if the study is never conducted, whereas the Significance indicates the positive results of completing the study (250 TO 300 WORDS).

Summary (Level II Header)
Summarize key points presented in SECTION 3 and provide supporting citations for key points (1 page maximum).
SECTION 2: Research Method (NEW SECTION LEVEL I HEADER)
Begin with an introduction and restatement of the research problem and purpose. Conclude the Introduction with a brief overview of the SECTION. It is appropriate to repeat the Problem, Purpose, and Research Question(s) from SECTION 1 verbatim.
Research Method (Level II Header)
Archived data including a description of how the data were originally collected. For qualitative studies, provide foundational, primary research sources to describe and support the proposed study design; for example, Moustakas (1994) or Yin (2009). (2 page maximum).
Summary (Level II Header)
Summarize key points presented in SECTION 3 and provide supporting citations for key points (1 page maximum).
SECTION 3: Literature Review (New Section level I Header)
Brief Review of the Literature (Level II Header)

Use themes and/or subtopics as headings. Focus particularly on those works that address main ideas in the field, describe areas of controversy, and indicate areas of incomplete knowledge and relate them to the envisioned study problem, purpose, and research questions (WITHIN THE LAST 5 YEARS AND 3-5 PAGES).
Summary (Level II Header)
SECTION 4: Findings (Level I Header)
Begin the discussion with a brief overview of the purpose of the research study and provide a brief overview of the SECTION. Organize the Section around the research question (2 page maximum).
Results (Level II Header)
Data analyses (Level II Header) – Report results without discussion 2 page maximum.
Summary (Level II Header)
Summarize key points presented in SECTION 4 and provide supporting citations for key points (1 page maximum).
SECTION 5: Recommendations, Interpretation of data, and Conclusions (Level I Header)
Interpretation of data (Level II Header)
Recommendations (Level II Header)
Present all recommendations for contributions and practical applications of the study (3page maximum)
Conclusion (Level II Header)
