What is in a one page research proposal?

Basic structure as follows:

TITLE (a couple of words, a phrase or a short sentence)
ABSTRACT (- around 300 words - a very short 'story' from which answers to the questions above can be inferred )
REFERENCES (3 TO 8)

Self-test that the research scenario is viable, you should be able to answer the following questions

• Is the Title phrased as a question that research may inform the reader what you're doing? 
• Research target(s)? (an App, computer program, a device, a service) 
• Research subjects(s)? (self and close contacts only) 
• Research scenario(s)? (attaining some kind of goal)
• Have you identified at least one specific research method for this study?

After reading the proposal and talking about it we should be able to answer the following questions.

• The focus of the investigation (a one sentence statement, often the title)
• Motivation, why it is of interest (might be something puzzling at work or a question you have)
• Possible data sources (speculation is ok)
• Suggest the kind/types of data that will be gathered (speculation is ok)
• Indicate your philosophical/theoretical stance, domain knowledge area, discipline (provide some references to theory)
