摘要：Writing up a research proposal is a recurrent activity in the life of a professional social scientist. In most political science programs, a research project or proposal is a prerequisite in order to qualify for a PhD degree. In Brazil (and perhaps the same applies to most countries), researchers devote a considerable amount of their time to drafting projects that will be submitted and evaluated by government agencies and private organizations. Some institutions provide guidelines in their calls for applications. This is not a rule of thumb, however. More often than not, researchers and students must decide for themselves how to structure the projects they submit. After spending quite a lot of time participating in evaluation committees and reading piles of projects and research proposals I have noticed a few recurring problems. Most of them could have been avoided if researchers had followed some simple precautions.
