Why do student research proposals usually require greater detail than those developed for review by funding organizations?
 
  a. Student research proposals have a minimum page limit, because faculty want their students to experience the worst-case scenario while in school, where support is readily available.
  b. Institutional review boards are very apprehensive about students performing research, and for this reason they require more detailed justification than do other proposals.
  c. Students do not write well, so their proposals tend to be more involved.
  d. The student's proposal often contains the first three or four chapters of the student's thesis or dissertation; funding proposals usually contain a much less detailed literature review.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The content of a student proposal usually requires greater detail than does a proposal developed for an agency or funding organization. The proposal is often the first three or four chapters of the student's thesis or dissertation, and the proposed study is discussed in the future tensethat is, what the student will do in conducting the research. A student research proposal usually includes a title page with the title of the proposal, the name and credentials of the investigator, the university name, and the date.

ANS: B, D, E, G
A query letter is developed to determine an editor's interest in reviewing a manuscript for publication. A query letter should be no more than one page and usually includes the abstract, as well as the researcher's qualifications for writing the article.
