The content of a research proposal is identical to that of a research report, with the following exceptions: (1) abstract is optional, (2) literature review is more extensive, and (3) a combined results/discussion section is used to describe how the data will be collected and analyzed, the expected results, other plausible outcomes, and the implications of the expected results.

Answer to Question 2

The purpose of a research proposal is to provide the following information: (1) what will be done, (2) what may be found, and (3) how the planned research is related to other knowledge.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
