CHAPTER EIGHT 
MAJOR COMPONENTS AND OUTLINE OF THE DIFFERENT 
PHASES IN A RESEARCH PROCESS 
 
8.1 Summary of the major components of a research proposal
The details of the development of a health research proposal (protocol) are given in the 
previous chapters. It is also important to give the summary of the major components and 
steps to assist students to have a general idea of the outline in a relatively short period of 
time.
It should be noted that the proposal will be designed after a topic is accepted to be 
researched. And, for approval, the protocol design is required to include at least the contents 
given below: 
 
Title and cover page 
The cover page should contain the title, the names of the authors with their titles and 
positions, the institution (e.g., Gondar College of Medicine and Health Sciences) and the 
month and year of submission of the proposal. The title could consist of a challenging 
statement or question, followed by an informative subtitle covering the content of the study 
and indicating the area where the study will be undertaken. 
Abstract
:
Summary of the proposal which should include (in short): 
Objectives, hypothesis, methods, time schedule and the total cost. 
Table of contents
: 
A table of contents is essential. It provides the reader a quick 
overview of the major sections of your research proposal, with page references, so that (s)he 
can go through the proposal in a different order or skip certain sections 
 I) Introduction 
ƒ
Statement of the research problem 
- Background and definition of the problem of the study 

---

Research methodology 
90
- Why the proposed study is important, i.e., general statement on rationale behind 
the research project. 
ƒ
State of knowledge: knowledge pertinent to subject under study
- Local data/knowledge 
- Literature review 
▪ Significance of the proposed work
 
Specific statements on the significance of the results of the study should be given. Where to 
use the results; who to make us of the results; what for the result would be used; and other 
details related with the usefulness of the end results of the study.
