Project Questions/Supporting evidence

Use your Project Plan Template and guide to complete the following:

Supporting Evidence

• Explain how the proposed study will add or contribute to a better understanding of the theoretical foundation of the problem or contribute to a better understanding of practice.
• Explain the proposed gap supported by scholarly literature or the practical implications of the proposed study.
• Synthesize a review of the scholarly literature to expose, explain, and analyze previous scholarly efforts to address the project or problem.

Project Questions

• List one or more project questions that align with the topic, problem, and supporting evidence within the program.
• Include a list of terms and definitions that relate to the program, topic, problem, gap, program, and project framework.
• Describe your target population.
• Describe the background for your study and how your question relates to the background of the study. Discuss previous studies and demonstrate exactly how your project (answering the question, applying to practice) will advance the scientific knowledge base on this topic. Consider the following guidance:
• Questions should be appropriate for the knowledge gap and current state of knowledge (supporting evidence).
• Questions are cast using the variables or phenomena under study. The variables or phenomena in the questions are identical to the variables discussed in the problem and specific theory gap.
• Questions are explicit in naming the type of relationship or phenomenon under study.
• When answered, questions will make a contribution to theoretical or practical foundations. The contribution to the academic field and to the theoretical foundation must speak to how the relationship among the variables or to the phenomenon addresses the knowledge gap previously identified.

Additional Requirements

• Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• Continue to use your Project Plan Template to structure your paper. Refer to the
• Campus page for your PhD or Professional Doctorate program’s Project Plan Guide.
• Resources: 610 scholarly references, including seminal works, listed in References section at the end of the paper.
• APA guidelines: Double-spaced paragraph formatting in the body of the paper. When appropriate, use APA-formatted headings. Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and format. Refer to
• as needed.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 points.
• Microsoft Editor: Use
• to help correct errors with grammar, usage, and writing mechanics.
• Turnitin: Use the Turnitin results to revise your work before submitting your assignment for grading.
• Synchronous Session Confirmation: When submitting your assignment, include this comment in the comments section “I attended and participated in the required synchronous session.”

Review the Supporting Evidence and Project Questions scoring guide before submitting to ensure that you have met all criteria.

Portfolio Prompt: Consider adding this assignment to your personal ePortfolio. This assignment demonstrates your ability to address the theoretical foundations or practice orientation for your proposed Project Plan. You will want to organize your course assignments to easily support future work on your dissertation or doctoral project and to showcase your knowledge with employers after graduation.
