Request to Conduct Research Guidelines

Compose a memo requesting permission to conduct research in support of your topic choice for the formal research-based persuasive report to your proposal decision-maker.

Typically, before a writer would expend energy on a research proposal, he or she would ask for permission from a decision-maker to undertake the project. In this assignment, you will identify the decision-maker(s) who will read your researched proposal and you will write a memo or letter to them requesting that you be given permission to move forward with your research, and explaining why they should grant you this permission. You will use a memo format if you are writing to a decision-maker within your organization; you will write a letter if you and your decision-maker do not work for the same organization.

The length of this document should be 500- to 750-words and should request permission to pursue research to develop your proposal idea. In your correspondence, provide your decision-maker(s) with justification for the research project. Include an outline of the benefits you believe the proposed idea will bring to the organization. Your document must make it clear you are contacting the decision-maker(s) to request permission to move forward with your research.
