Sample Proposals
Proposal #4 (the following graphs are for this proposal. They were created with Microsoft Exel and although close to professional quality, they have some APA style violations that you should not emulate. In APA style no text other than labels and coordinate scales appears on graphs. Therefore these graphs should not have captions, page numbers, headers, and text that summarizes findings.)
