In this video, I not only share general advice but also specific strategies tailored for those new to the process. Writing a research proposal can seem daunting at first. It's not just about stating your intentions but engaging your audience, be it a professor or a potential funding body.

I discuss everything from how to generate exciting ideas based on examples from my own academic journey, to fine-tuning these ideas into a well-structured document. For instance, I mention how I used online tools to analyze the works of prominent scholars to shape proposals that resonate with their ongoing projects. This method turns a standard research proposal example into a tailored, persuasive argument that highlights how your work aligns with existing research.

I also explain how connecting emotionally with the reviewers can elevate your proposal from a mere document to a compelling story. This narrative technique is especially crucial when aiming to secure funding or approval for your project. By weaving facts with strategic emotional appeals, your proposal becomes more than just an academic requirement; it becomes a narrative that people want to support.

For undergraduates just starting on this path, I provide specific guidance on how to write a research proposal for undergraduate level. This includes simplifying complex ideas and focusing on what is most impactful for beginning researchers. The goal is to demystify the process and make it accessible, reducing the anxiety that often comes with academic writing.

Basically you have to sell your proposal to these stakeholders. It's no different than a business pitch. If you've worked long enough, you'll automatically know how to do this.
