The research plan needs to individuals and groups as the unit of analysis, but the aspects of design should be chosen so as to maximize the strength of the study. State clearly and fully the methods to be used in gathering data to test the questions posed above.

a. Sample. The reader will want to know demographic information about the population from which the sample would be selected. Details of how the sample would be selected should also be explained here.

This section consists of a chronological list of the steps that would be used in conducting the study. It should be as detailed as possible to include time estimates where applicable.
c. Data Analysis. What will be done after the data is collected? The statistical methods you would use to analyze your data are outlined in this section. If the techniques or measurement procedures are unusual, describe them in detail. For non-statistical methods of analysis, describe the qualitative factors you will be using.
