Proposal

Ranging from a short letter or email to a lengthy document, a proposal outlines a particular researcher's or agency's response to a client's brief. It will generally contain a discussion of the problem or issue at stake, a suggested research method, research design, sample suggestions, costs, timing and personnel.
