HumanServices/ Social Work Research Proposal Assessment

Imagine that you are a Human Services/Social Worker or a student in Human Services/Social Work. You want to conduct a piece of research in an area of need/interest related to HumanServices/ Social Work. In order to conduct the research, you need to put up a research proposal that clearly outlines the research problem, literature review, the aims of your research, the significance of your research, the methodology (research paradigm, research methods, research instrument, sampling, recruitment strategy, data analysis) and the proposed plan( timeline and budget).

Assignments must be well-researched and referenced according to APA7 guidelines.
