Focus on the Implementation Plan

Week 5 Research Proposal Project: Implementation Plan (Ethics, Recruitment, Data Collection)

Implementation Plan

For this section of your research proposal assignment, you will focus on the implementation plan, which includes considerations for ethics, recruitment practices, and a plan for how you will collect your data. Please note that you will not explain how to analyze your data in this section, but rather how you will go about collecting the data.

The following components must be addressed:

• Explain how you will ensure your research is conducted in an ethical manner
• Include a copy of an informed consent that will be included for participants of your research proposal project (you can search examples of informed consent online for research )
• Explain how you will recruit participants for your study, and how your recruitment process will remain ethical. Be sure to address any incentives (if applicable)
• Explain what quantitative data you will collect and how you will go about collecting this data (survey, questionnaire, observation, etc.)

APA formatting, references, and citations are required.

Your research project implementation plan should be included as part of your final submission for your research proposal project in week 7 and your research proposal presentation in week 8. Use the feedback you receive from your instructor on your implementation plan to modify and improve before submission of your final project in weeks 7 and 8.

Due Sunday, 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time)

Implementation Plan

Ethics: To ensure that this research is conducted in an ethical manner, several steps will be taken. Firstly, this study will adhere to the principles outlined in the Belmont Report, including respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Additionally, ethical approval will be obtained from the relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to commencing the study. Participants will be fully informed about the nature of the study, including its purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, and their rights as research participants. They will be assured of their right to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty. Confidentiality and anonymity will be maintained throughout the study, and data will be securely stored and accessible only to authorized personnel. Lastly, any potential conflicts of interest will be disclosed and managed appropriately.

Informed Consent Form: A copy of the informed consent form for participants is included below:

Recruitment: Participants for this study will be recruited using a combination of convenience sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Recruitment efforts will primarily involve reaching out to individuals who meet the eligibility criteria through online platforms such as social media, forums, and email listservs relevant to the study’s topic. Additionally, participants may be recruited through community organizations or institutions related to the research topic. The recruitment process will be transparent, clearly outlining the purpose of the study, the criteria for participation, and any incentives offered (if applicable). Efforts will be made to ensure diversity and representativeness within the sample.

Data Collection: Quantitative data for this study will be collected through an online survey instrument. The survey will be designed to gather information on various variables relevant to the research objectives. It will include both closed-ended and Likert scale questions to assess participants’ attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and demographics. The survey will be pilot-tested with a small group of individuals to ensure clarity, comprehensibility, and relevance of the items. Data will be collected anonymously to maintain participant confidentiality and minimize response bias. Participants will be encouraged to provide honest and accurate responses. Data collection will be conducted over a specified period, with reminders sent to participants to maximize response rates.

APA & Mechanics: This implementation plan follows current APA format guidelines. All sources used are appropriately cited and referenced. There are no grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors present in the text.
