Considerations When Crafting (or re-crafting) Program or Plan of Study
• Audience (Generalist vs Specialist)
• Outlining
• Structure: content by section
• Style: conciseness; format (APA & SSHRC specs.)
• Revision
![Page 13: Grant Writing Session #1 SSHRC OISE Student Success Centre (OSSC) James Corcoran (CTL); Gary Fogal (CTL); Steven Leigh (CTL); Pamela Osmond (LHAE); Chloe.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551c20ff550346ad4f8b5b56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tips – Program or Plan of Study
• Clearly state your research purpose and questions.• Make a strong case for the significance of your
research to theory and practice• Use language that scholars who are not in your
field will understand.• Select elements of your larger literature review
that clearly support your purpose and your research methods.
• Present a workable research design in as much detail as possible.

Further considerations:Program or Plan of study
• Introduction: background and lit review (displaying broad and specific knowledge)
• Problem: where is the gap?
• Positioning: how may my research contribute to advancement of knowledge in this area?; how am I uniquely qualified to carry out this research in a timely and effective manner?
• Impact: so what? Why is this potential research important and to whom? How will I disseminate my findings to important stakeholders following completion?
![Page 15: Grant Writing Session #1 SSHRC OISE Student Success Centre (OSSC) James Corcoran (CTL); Gary Fogal (CTL); Steven Leigh (CTL); Pamela Osmond (LHAE); Chloe.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551c20ff550346ad4f8b5b56/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The need for revision
• Part of writing process
• Should include multiple attempts
• Should include multiple stakeholders

Suggestions for “best” practice
• Use multiple editors• Consider taking ELWS courses• Use OISE OSSC advisors and departmental
advisors• Attention to detail – departmental liaison• Carefully consider clarity and feasibility of
proposed research• Edit, edit, re-edit
