Format Requirements: The work is to be clear and concise, and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The work is to be no shorter than 10 pages; nor longer than 15 pages in length and follow APA style (Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced, one-inch margins). The student will automatically lose points if these limits are not followed. Citations should be referenced according to APA style (the library has a copy of the APA manual). Identify a minimum of 5 complete references that directly relate to the selected problem and include at least 5 in-text citations in your submission. The references should include multiple sources (e.g., books, periodicals, Internet reports, etc.).

Content Requirements: Merge the work completed throughout this course to compose a cohesive, compelling, and analytical 10-to-15-page research proposal (not including the title page or references). Go through all of your work and synthesize the responses into a formal narrative research proposal. As part of this final narrative research proposal, you will complete #15 and #16 components, which are not to be considered separate from the work, rather they are incorporated into the final research proposal.
