The proposal draws on all the preparat ory steps of the research pr ocess and pulls them together in a document describing the rationale and the methodology proposed for research. The proposal is a basis for approval and funding. After approval, the proposal is used as a blueprint during implementation of the project. It should be no ted that devel opment of a research proposal is often a cyclical process. T he process is not always linear. It is a usual practice to go up and down on the developed pr oposal and make the necessary revisions.

View the attachments to see the proposal as requested. I aim to conduct a quantitative research project on the effects of family relations on the academic performance of adolescents. As you know the academic standards in South Africa are at a decline and I feel that identifying a clear cause brings us one step closer to finding a solution to our problem. It is not just a problem that the Department of Education is facing, but also a problem the future South Africa will face. Children are our future and as such need to have the best chance of achieving success. I feel that this research study will be the steppingstone for a better level of education for our children. The reason I am submitting this proposal to you is to 1) get ethical approval for the research study and 2) to secure financial support to conduct this study. I sincerely hope that the attached proposal will meet your expectations and that you will be able to give financial support. Yours sincerely 5010 9669 ...

Laxenburg Austria 2361 I International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis CSNOOI March 1975 A PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER NETWORKING FACILITIES AT IIASA As a result of meetings with Computer Institutions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, it has become clear that there exists a concrete opportunity to establish the basis of a Computer Network available as a direct communication resource to IIASA Scientists. That there is a need for Data Communication facilities has become increasingly obvious, as a direct result of the difficulties experienced in exchanging information between IIASA and the NMO's, and between the NMO's themselves. In accordance with the aims of the project to improve and facilitate cooperation between IIASA and Home Institutions a proposal for a preliminary computer network has been cooperation with remote centres. drawn~ up, which will enable IIASA projects to make pilot studies in It will also provide the necessary experience to expand and improve such communication. The latter is important to the decentralisation of IIASA research and to the widening...

...ntRelative Performance Evaluation and Target Setting MARTIN HOLZHACKER Erasmus University Rotterdam MATTHIAS D. MAHLENDORF WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management MICHAL MATĚJKA W.P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University Draft – Please do not cite or circulate without permission of the authors March 2013 2 Relative Performance Evaluation and Target Setting ABSTRACT It is well known that compensation contracts can improve risk sharing by incorporating information about peer performance ex post, i.e., once the performance of a unit as well as its peers is observed. In this study, we examine whether peer performance is also used ex ante, i.e., when setting performance targets at the beginning of a period. We analyze data on 2008– 2010 performance targets from 354 units of a national agency responsible for reintegration of the long-term unemployed into the labor market. We find evidence that a target for a performance measure is strongly positively associated with past peer performance on the same measure as well as past peer performance on a different measure. Thus, performance targets are lower whenever past peer performance is weak on at least one of its dimensions. We also find that the relative weights on different measures of peer performance are proportional to their capacity to filter out common risks. We conclude that using information about past peer performance improves risk sharing and alleviates adverse incentive effects ...

...of problem behaviors, such as overeating for a person who is overweight or obese. The hypothesis of the research proposal is that those who receive hypnotherapy in conjunction with a supervised diet and exercise program will lose more weight that those who only participate in the diet and exercise program. METHOD: The 20 participants will be chosen from a target population. In order to be a participant in the research proposal the individual must be between the ages of 21 and 45, of either gender, have a primary diagnosis of obesity (with or without co-morbidities), have tried at least one weight-loss program prior, and be either referred to the bariatric program by a physician, or be a current patient of the bariatric program. The participants will be broken into two groups of 10 participants. Group 1 consists of 10 participants who will participate in hypnotherapy in combination with a diet and exercise program established by a dietary team. Group 2 contains 10 participants who will participate in only a diet and exercise program established by a dietary team. This research proposal is an example of a quasi-experiment. The measurements will be obtained with a standard digital scale. RESULTS: The data of the proposal will consist of weight measurements from each participant. The data will be analyzed using a dependent and independent t-test as well as a one-way ANOVA test. Descriptive statistics will also be used to summarize the collected...
