Developing a Research Proposal

Imagine that you are submitting a proposal to the U.S. Justice Department to evaluate the efficacy of a new treatment program for substance abusers within federal correctional institutions.

What would your research question be if you proposed a process evaluation component to your research?
For the outcome evaluation, what is your independent variable and what would your dependent variable be? How would you operationalize both?
What type of research design would you propose to answer both the process evaluation and outcome evaluation components in your proposal? Discuss.
Details on Process Evaluations begins on pg. 253

Details on Research Design Decisions begins on pg. 258

Type and save your work in Microsoft Word (.doc, or .docx.) format. Your response should be approximately 500-1000 words. Please number all questions, use proper capitalization, double spacing, punctuation, and grammar.
