To help you accomplish this task, you will find a Research Design Alignment Table after the Significance section (toward the end of your Prospectus Form). For this module’s Assignment, you will fill out the table to the best of your ability. It is understood that you may not be able to thoroughly detail some of the columns. That’s okay. Simply fill in as much information as you can at this point. Later, during your proposal development, you will revisit this plan to adjust as needed and finalize your research design.
To help you get started on this Assignment, watch the following video, which explains the purpose of the Research Design Alignment Table, the components of the table, and best practices for completing yours.
