I want to emphasize that you are proposing evidence-based projects in this course. In evidence-based practice projects, you are finding an evidence-based (researched) intervention and determining whether it is working in your practice.

The final sections of the proposal (data collection, analysis, evaluation, dissemination of results and conclusion) should be a maximum of 13 pages. Points will be lost for exceeding this length requirement.
Title page, running head, body of paper, and reference pages must follow APA guidelines as found in the 6th edition of the manual. This includes the use of headings for each section of the paper except for the introduction where no heading is used.
The paper should be presented in the following ordered sections:
Title Page
Data collection
Analysis
Evaluation
Dissemination of Results
Conclusion
References
