what is the overall purpose of research design?
March 2012. What is the purpose of the Research Design and Procedures section? The Research Design and Procedures section of the initial review application asks study teams to describe the overall purpose and aims of their study as well as to provide a brief overview of study procedures and/or interventions.
Quantitative research design is an excellent way of finalizing results and proving or disproving a hypothesis. The structure has not changed for centuries, so is standard across many scientific fields and disciplines.
