Hi, You previously did an assignment for me that was the precursor to this assignment and I would like you to continue off of this assignment. I have decided to do the recorded presentation option mentioned in this rubric but would like you to create the proposed research paper. Assignment #3: Proposed Research Paper (25 pts) + Presentation (10 pts) Assignment #3 is related to Assignment #2 (what you submitted in July). We are going to build off Assignment #2. You created your background, your aim, and your tool (survey; interview guide). We are now going to refine and add some components to make this an incredibly exciting research proposal! There are two main components to this assignment: Refining Assignment #2- Your instructor provided you with a lot of feedback on your background, your aims, and your tool (survey or interview guide). Please take those suggestions, modify your background, aims, and tool as needed. Your instructor is around (and happy!) to discuss any of those changes. Adding Four Sections- You will now add four sections to your original paper (Assignment #2). These four new sections should be three-pages in length (minimum; double-spaced). a. Recruitment- How will your recruitment occur? What sampling method might you use? What worries might you have about recruitment in terms of ethics or feasibility? How will you overcome those? b. What risks/benefits might there be in this research? Could some questions cause discomfort? Could some questions be triggering? How might you mitigate these risks? Are the risks worth the benefits? What are the benefits? What are the larger potential ethical concerns? c. What analyses do you want to look at? What are your main variables/questions that will be looked at? What is your initial hypothesis and speak to the association you're expecting to find (i.e. the independent variable will have a positive/inverse relationship with the dependent variable). If you have a qual proposal (less focused on hypotheses)- what themes are you expecting to identify? d. Implications on social work practice. How will this impact social work? On what levels (micro, mezzo, macro) will this research project most speak to? What are the larger aims of the research for you as a potential social work researcher? What might be a next step when you find your hypothesis to be true? Or when you get interesting qualitative data? Using Assignment #2 (three pages) and adding these sections will likely bring you to around 6-7 pages (double-spaced). An ideal amount of references for the final product is around 10. 3. Create a slide deck- You will be given the option to either record or deliver live (in class) a brief 5-6 minute presentation of your research proposal. The slide deck should contain 7 slides (maximum- remember only 5-6 minutes!) 1. Title Slide 2. Background 3. Aim of the Study 4. Methods 5. Recruitment Strategy 6. Ethical Considerations 7. Main aims of analyses The final paper, slide deck, and your presentation will all be evaluated for this last assignment- worth 35 points. Please be in touch with the instructor as needed, he is more than happy to review and talk through materials before-hand. We will also discuss this assignment in class leading up to its due date. There is also a rubric below: Component (Remember to read Assignment #3 on Brightspace for full details) Points Allotted Points Received A title page with the working title of your proposed research project. Include name, date, course info, etc. 1 ____/1 Incorporated feedback of first proposal (Version 1)- You incorporated feedback that either you might want to change on v1 of your paper or the instructor made on your first draft. This could be related to the Background, Aims, or Survey/Interview. 5 ____/5 Recruitment Section- How will recruitment occur? Who will be eligible/ineligible? What type of sampling might you use? 4 ____/4 Risks/Benefits Section- What are the larger risks of your study? What are the potential benefits? How will you as a researcher ensure max benefits and minimum risks? 3 ___/3 Proposed Analyses- These do NOT need to be detailed. But broadly, what key variables are you hoping to examine and what are your hypotheses? 3 ___/3 Impact on Social Work- How could this study add to the SW field? 3 ___/3 Total Paper is at least 6 pages minimum or more (12 pt font; Double-Spaced) 2 ___/2 Your attached Survey/Interview guide w/ relevant revisions 1 ____/1 APA-style Citations List (From First Section) 3 ____/3 Total (Paper) 25 ____/25 Slide deck (7 slides) Title Background Aim of the study Methods Recruitment strategy Ethical Considerations Main aims of analyses 5 ____/5 Live or Recorded Presentation (5-6 mins) 5 ____/5 Total (Presentation) 10 ____/10 Grant Total (Paper + Presentation) 35 ____/35
