When you begin your Honors research, one of your first tasks is to write a Research Proposal. This proposal, which
should not exceed 5-6 double-spaced pages, should include the following elements:
- Research background
- Proposed experimental goals or hypotheses to be tested
- Overview of experimental approaches to be taken
- Significance of proposed work to the field
- Literature citations
Your proposal should be approved by your thesis supervisor (signature required) and then submitted to the Biology
Honors Advisor no later than 2 months after beginning laboratory research. Submission deadlines are:
Fall Semester - November 1
Spring Semester - April 1
Summer Semester - September 1
If you have any questions about your Honors Research Proposal, or if you foresee that you will be unable to meet
your submission deadline, please contact: Dr. Jonathan Poulton, Biology Honors Advisor (Phone: 335-1322; Email:
jonathan-poulton@uiowa.edu) as soon as possible. If you wish to
view Research Proposals written by former Honors students, please contact Dr. Poulton.
