A research plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the strategy for a research project. It details what the research aims to achieve, the methodologies to be used, the criteria for participant selection, the tools required, the timeline, and the locations where research will take place. This plan is crucial for organizing and guiding the research process, particularly when coordinating fieldwork or multiple teams across different sites. It ensures that all aspects of the research are thoughtfully considered and that resources are efficiently allocated to meet the study’s goals.
