Develop a Draft Dissertation Concept Paper

To complete this assignment well, you need to draw on your learning from previous courses, depending on whether you are proposing a qualitative or quantitative study. Be sure that:

• Your literature review is sufficiently thorough to support your claim of a gap in the research literature
• The gap you have identified is the basis for a feasible, interesting, worthy, and relevant study (see the NCU Guidebook Applied Degree 2013 and the Doctoral Candidacy Resource Guide (DCRG) documents in the Dissertation Center)
• You describe how the study you propose allows you to address the gap in a way that contributes to theory
• Your problem and purpose statements and your research questions (and hypothesis) are in the form specified in the NCU Template Applied Degree CP 2013document and are aligned
• Your proposed design will allow you to answer your research questions. (Draw on the designs used in the studies you reviewed.)
• The document precisely follows the format of the NCU Template Applied Degree CP 2013document and APA style

You will revise this document more than once in your doctoral program and your instructor may require revisions prior to grading.

Length: 7-10 pages or longer depending on the length of the literature review, not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.
