1. Concept Paper Flowchart
Planning the Structure of Your Concept Paper
(which is basically your formal research proposal)

2. Directions
On the next slide, there is a template flow-chart using the InsertSmartArt function of PPT.
This is only a template, but it includes most everything you would possibly need for your project. For many projects, it may include too much information.
The more detailed you are in this flow chart, the easier it will be to set up your final concept paper.
You are welcome to set up your flow chart in any format you see fit— this is just the easiest one for a quick template for me to do.
