Research Prospectus
Colorado Technical University
Ivette Clark
March 2022
[Note. The Research Prospectus is a significant milestone in the journey toward your CTU dissertation research study. A Research Prospectus declared satisfactory in RSCH861 demonstrates your achievement of a viable research problem and alignment of the research method choice, problem, purpose, and research question. Your Research Prospectus will be declared satisfactory when your instructor has deemed all criteria on the Research Prospectus Evaluation Rubric as “Met.” This will enable you to pass the RSCH861 course. Note that the Research Prospectus document is regarded as a work in progress and some content may be subject to additional revisions as the proposal/dissertation process continues.]
Abstract
[Insert an abstract of no more than 150 words to summarize the study problem, purpose, variables or constructs, method choice rationale, and plans to conduct the review of the literature. Note: The title page and Abstract page have no page numbers. The Introduction begins as page 1. Be sure to remove all red template instructional content as you prepare your Research Prospectus draft.]

Introduction
[The Research Prospectus is double-spaced throughout with Level 1 headers for each required section. The Abstract, References, and any appendices headers (known as front and back matter in scholarly publishing) also use a Level 1 header. The Research Prospectus begins with an introduction to the study problem that includes enough background information and term definitions for the reader to understand the problem statement and all key terms used within the study problem. Remember the proposed study is first introduced in the study purpose below and not in the introduction as this is an introduction to the study problem. The introduction is no longer than 2 pages.]
