My topic is social media impact  Imagine you are submitting a research proposal for a grant. If your application is selected, you will receive the funding to complete your study. Imagine the grant agency has unlimited resources so your research project can be of any scale. This grant is specifically for mixed methods research and so your project must contain both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis. *You may use the topic you've worked with most of the semester and draw as much as you like from your past assignments, but you don't have to.  The grant application calls for the following information (yes, this is what a typical real grant will ask you for when you apply): 1.Statement of the Problem: What is the problem or issue your study aims to address? Cite several sources in your explanation. Why does this study matter to the word? Basically... why should they give you money? 2.Project Design and Implementation: Describe (i) the goal of the research project, (ii) the research questions, and (iii) how you will conduct the research. Be as specific as possible when explaining the methodology you will use. Be sure to include both qualitative and quantitative approaches. 3.Potential Impact: What do you expect to find? Why does this matter?  4.Appendix: Research Instruments-- attach a copy of your potential research instruments (both qualitative and quantitative)
