Times New Roman font with 1 inch margins). Your reference list can extend onto additional pages, but should take up no more than half of page 3. (That is, the proposal should contain at least 2.5 double-spaced pages of content.) Description: A good proposal should be structured around three primary sections: 1) Description of your research question (roughly ½ of a page). As we discussed in class, your research question should involve an important reform or an otherwise important episode in the history of the health system on which you have chosen to focus. For example, you could analyze a major expansion of health insurance coverage (e.g., when a country first implemented universal healthcare). You could also analyze how your country’s health system responded to a major crisis (e.g., the HIV/AIDS epidemic). Other possibilities include analyzing a country’s response to the a difficulty faced by many countries (e.g., the fiscal burdens that come with aging populations.) 2) Description of how you propose to answer your research question. Policies tend to target particular sectors, population groups, or regions of a country. Evaluating a policy typically involves comparing the targeted group to some other group. If an expansion of insurance coverage targets a country’s poorest regions, for example, you can compare how coverage rates and health care outcomes evolve in poor regions relative to rich regions. Appropriate comparisons may also involve comparing your country to other countries. 3) Background information. Here you should provide more detail regarding the specifics of the policy you propose to study and the history of its origins. Good research involves becoming an expert on a topic, and becoming an expert requires mastering an issue’s background and institutional detail.
