research paper must be in a topic proposal Memorandum format• A summary of the topic you propose to research, including the questions you would like to explore. (Note: you can modify the topic later if necessary but you will make it difficult on yourself if you decide to change the topic completely.)• A statement of purpose or objective: Will this be a research-only project where you will provide your audience with information, which they will use as they see fit, OR will this be a proposal with recommendations for your audience to take specific action based on the research and information presented in your final report?• Rationale and audience: Identify who would find your report useful—both primary and secondary audiences. What need is being addressed? Why is this report necessary or needed by your audience?• Anticipated research challenges and how you will deal with them: What might hinder your progress as you explore primary and secondary sources on your topic and how will you deal with them? What problems do you foresee with finding enough valid information, both primary and secondary sources?
