STEPS INCLUDE:​
-
Determine the research questions. Research questions relate back to the overall purpose, and reflect the interests of your identified stakeholders.

-
Develop an analysis plan. While analysis will happen after data collection, identifying a plan upfront will help you and your team identify any missing gaps, as well as keep the scope of the research feasible.
-
Share and get feedback on your plan from the steering committee.
