You don't indicate which field of study the research
proposal is intended to cover, and that can make a difference. But in general, you are
trying to sell the topic idea itself, which, no matter which field it is, should include
presentation of the following points:
1) The
research is necessary - That is to say, it hasn't been overdone, or
hasn't been debated and presented to death, as it were and thus is worth whatever
resources would need to be dedicated to it.
2)
Topic is interesting and intriguing - Any good research
proposal should intrigue your intended audience. Ask yourself, at the end of this
presentation, would they want to research this topic? So try to include a few "hooks"
that will get the wheels turning in the heads of your
audience.
3) Is it feasible?
Your audience should feel very reassured that this is in fact a researchable topic,
within a budget if there is one, with known means of research or
experimentation.
4) What is the timeline for
completion? Open-ended research is often hard to buy in to. Present at
least a rough timeline for the research goals you intent to
accomplish.

suggestions for scientific and literary proposals. Good luck.
