My university has suggested that they may be able to provide me with funding for a PhD if I can come up with good proposals including research questions. Any advice on how this should be structured? How can I judge whether a topic would be worthwhile for research? Any advice would be appreciated.
When I submitted a proposal for research - it was fairly broad. the focus has shifted many times during the course of study - dont get bogged down in detailed hypotheses to start with - sometimes a broad but exciting area you can really sell does the trick... Another idea is to find a PhD or post-doc doing a similar topic to your interest and ask what they would like to have done if they had had the time..
