Research Proposal Support From Topic to Analysis Plan

A research proposal has to convince a committee or funder that your question matters, that your methods can answer it and that you can deliver. The methodology section and the data analysis plan are usually where proposals succeed or fail.

We help with every part: developing the topic and problem statement, objectives and research questions or hypotheses, the literature review and conceptual framework, the methodology, sampling and sample size, data collection instruments and the analysis plan. For clinical trial protocols we follow SPIRIT 2025.

Research Proposals: Frequently Asked Questions

What should a dissertation proposal include?

Typically an introduction and problem statement, objectives and questions, a literature review, methodology, analysis plan, timeline and references. Always follow your institution's template.

How do I write the methodology section of a research proposal?

State and justify the design, setting, sampling, instruments, procedures, ethics and analysis. We make sure each part links back to your research questions.

Can you calculate my sample size?

Yes. We use a power analysis based on the expected effect size, significance level and power.

Do you help with grant proposals?

We help with the research design, methods and analysis sections of grant proposals.

Is my project confidential?

Yes. Your files are stored privately and only the people working on your project can open them. We sign a non-disclosure agreement on request.

Do you offer refinements after delivery?

Yes. After delivery you can request refinements within the agreed scope directly from your client dashboard.

How is the price calculated?

Every project gets an itemised quote based on scope, complexity and deadline. You pay only after you accept the quote.

How do I get started?

Request a free quote online, message us on WhatsApp or email us. A specialist will reply with an itemised quote within 2-4 business hours.

Who is credited for the work?

You remain the author. For publications, the ICMJE recommends acknowledging writing assistance and editing rather than listing it as authorship. For coursework, follow your institution's academic integrity policy.
