Proposal writing can be challenging. Writing a Research Proposal takes the reader through the necessary steps in a clear and logical manner in order to demystify the process and to successfully bridge the gap between theory and practice. The eight chapters in the book focus on separate facets of the proposal writing process, with end-of-chapter tasks reinforcing and consolidating the chapter’s key teaching points.

Writing your first clinical research protocol
C ALDOUS, P RHEEDER & T ESTERHUIZEN
Medical students embarking on their first clinical research protocol are often daunted by the task at hand, particularly by the statistical terminology, concepts and the choice of appropriate statistical tests. The authors understand the difficulties and pitfalls students might encounter and have written an introductory text that will make writing that first protocol ‘a breeze’. Beginning with a section entitled ‘What’s in it for me’, which outlines the benefits of research, the text provides ideas and advice on topics such as finding the research focus, writing the proposal, considering ethical requirements, compiling a budget and writing the executive summary.
