Q Step 1: Specific Aims PageRequired Length: The recommended length of the specific aims is one page with 0.5-inch margins and 11 point font (Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri). You will use the Research Project: Part 3 – Specific Aims and Logic Model Template for this assignment.Content: The specific aims should cover: ?broad, long-term goals;?the specific objectives and hypotheses to be tested;?summarize expected outcomes; and?describe impact on the research field.Suggestions: 1. Generally, the Specific Aims section should begin with a brief narrative describing the long-term goals or objectives of the research project and the hypothesis to be tested. This is followed by a numbered list of the Aims.2. List succinctly the specific objectives of the research proposed, e.g., to test a stated hypothesis, create a novel design, solve a specific problem, challenge an existing paradigm or clinical practice, address a critical barrier to progress in the field, or develop new technology.3. Make sure your specific objectives or hypothesis are clearly stated, are testable, and adequately supported by citations and preliminary data. Be sure to explain how the results to be obtained will be used to test the hypothesis.4. Be as brief and specific as possible. For clarity, each aim should consist of only one sentence. Use a brief paragraph under each aim if detail is needed. Most successful applications have 2-4 specific aims.
