2 - Overview of current research - articulate your project from a review of literature and other resources on the topic. Discuss the most important texts and/or examples, demonstrating your understanding of the research issues and identifying any gaps that your research is intended to address.
3 - Methodology - you do not need to go into specifics here but need to demonstrate that you have given some thought about how you will undertake your research. Anticipate the methods you will use to achieve your project aims. How do you plan on achieving your project aims and what is your rationale this approach? Show that your research project is feasible in the time period (3 years F/T or 6 years P/T).
4 - Expectations of research results - what do you expect to find out, prove, demonstrate, analyse, test, investigate or examine at the conclusion of your research?
