Personal and Professional Relevance Personal and
Professional Relevance. Your research proposal
for your Capstone Project should be written on a
topic in which you feel an investment and that
also is relevant to fields within the social
sciences. What relevance does this issue have in
your own life? Does it relate to your interests,
and if so, how does it relate? What is your
connection to the population you are researching?
If the issue does not have relevance to you or
you do not have a connection with the population,
explain why not. What is the goal of your
research? Are you using your research for the
good of this population or solely for the
enhancement of knowledge in general? Which is
more important and why? Are they both equally
important?
