Research Proposal Template

Without adequate research, no project has a chance of getting off the ground.

Ideas are the bones of a project, but research fleshes out those bones and bring them to life. Before you embark on any endeavor, it’s a good idea to do your research, because after all, the old saying is true – knowledge is power.

When you have a digital problem you need to solve, there are many times pre-made software available to you, and these can do in a pinch. But software personalized to your goals and your company can go much further than these off-the-shelf solutions, bringing efficacy and efficiency to your workplace.

My goal as your researcher? To take your project idea – the bones – and make it into a living, breathing concept by adding the right research. Together, you and I will determine what you need to know to make your project a success, and set you up with the information needed to make your project the best it can be.

I am one of the most talented researchers in the business, and nobody will do a better job for you than me. Want to know why that is? Here are a few reasons.

1. I have more than [x] years experience as a researcher. This means I know where to find the information that you need, and I can find it fast.
2. I have been the researcher behind [name of project] and [name of project]. If you would like more information on my previous work, please look at my portfolio here [link to portfolio].
