We are elated that you are considering a research collaboration with Potential Forge . As purveyors of research excellence, we are committed to partnering with scholars who share our passion for rigorous and innovative research. To that end, we have identified several key criteria that we look for in research proposals that we accept:
- A meticulously crafted and formal research proposal, akin to a thesis or dissertation proposal or any other academic research proposal that exemplifies your scholarly aptitude.
- A concise yet comprehensive literature review that cogently elucidates the raison d’être of your study and compellingly argues for its pertinence.
- Clearly articulated research questions or hypotheses that flow seamlessly from the literature review and align with the study’s objectives.
- A detailed and methodical methods section that expounds upon the approach you intend to take in conducting your study, encompassing the use of archival data or original data collection, your sample population, the projected timeline, and an explication of the rationales for the use of Potential Forge assessments as opposed to other measures of personality.
- A cogent and well-thought-out analyses section that elucidates the analytical strategies that you will employ to answer your research questions.
To streamline the submission process, we highly recommend drafting your proposal first in a Word document and then copying and pasting the information into our application. Once you have submitted your application, our Academic Research Network associates will evaluate your proposal and provide feedback within a two-week period.
Upon review, we may accept your proposal and move forward with it, or we may request additional clarification before making a final decision. Alternatively, we may reject your proposal.
It is important to note that, while we are thrilled to field any questions you may have about the Potential Forge suite of assessments, we are not research advisors and cannot provide guidance on study design or improvement. Nonetheless, we remain confident that the expertise and resources that Potential Forge brings to bear will foster collaboration and facilitate groundbreaking research.
