Answers vary
Proposals are typically written to convince someone else that a research project should be conducted. The purpose may be to obtain grant funds to conduct the project or to propose a project for a class. To write a research proposal, the standard research APA-style structure is generally followed, but a few modifications are made to account for the fact that the study has not yet been completed. For example, the Results section typically contains a plan for the analysis of the data and predicted results for the study. Likewise, the Discussion section contains a discussion of what may be learned in the cases where the hypotheses are supported and not supported. In addition, the details of the study (method details, etc.) are described in the future tense (e.g., "The participants will be recruited from a population of university students"), because the study will take place in the future.

A good discussion section should begin with ______.
