In Brief

• W writing a research proposal is the foremost
  task towards accomplishing the completion of a
  research project. Though the format of research
  proposals for different domains is similar but
  there is a huge variation in the c ontent and its
  style. Considering writing a r esearch proposal
  for tissue engineering or medical domain it is
  imperative to mention the key constructs such as
  benefits, advancements etc.

Introduction
As defined earlier a research proposal holds
paramount significance for successful completion
of a research project.
It is necessary that the proposal follows certain
word length, a well-defined structure and
layout. A general layout for a research proposal
is as follows Title Introduction Aims and
objectives Literature review Contd..

While the aforementioned format is suitable for
most of the research works of different domains
it is also adjustable for m edical domain. It
also noteworthy that the individual should have a
clear vision of the approach being implemented
or discussed in his project so as to avoid any
confusion. A snippet of the key constructs
required for w riting a proposal are
discussed. While w riting a research proposal
for tissue engineering an individual should begin
with describing the role of tissue
engineering. Tissue engineering can be defined
as a process in which a b iological alternative
is focused on for conserving the structure and
function of tissue. Contd..

The author explored the application of tissue
engineering for regenerating the mandible and
showed optimal results. Similarly the key works
performed towards the proposed research work
should be mentioned. In the further sections of
the research proposal a snippet of the technique
being implemented should be provided so that the
reviewer can understand the purpose of research
and its significance towards the society. As
mentioned previously there are some key questions
that need to be addressed while writing a
research proposal for tissue engineering.

Tissue engineering (TE) has revolutionised the
field of medicine with its high efficacy and aid
towards repairing and developing tissues that
have been damaged due to any accident or illness.
Need for Tissue Engineering
In the present scenario transplantation, use of
mechanical devices is being widely employed which
undeniably cause certain issues. TE aims to
alleviate these issues and ensure smooth
functioning. Thus TE serves as a promising
solution towards resolving these problems.

Success of Tissue
Engineering
Since TE is a multidisciplinary approach
involving engineering as well as biological
techniques towards betterment of society.
The skin TE approach is being practiced since
long and has been exhibiting success. The
damage of tissues is a common problem but the
regeneration of these tissues is possible only up
to a certain age. Beyond this age the
regeneration process either slows down or stops
completely causing severe pains and other allied
issues.

Process of Tissue Engineering
The process of TE can be explained through the
graphical illustration shown below.
It can be observed from the illustration that
initially the cells are separated from a source
followed by expansion in a cell culture
system. They are then embedded onto a carrier
which in addition to a proper medium imparts
structural support. A research proposal planned
and designed in such a way would ensure success
in unison with timely completion of the
project. Contd..

Conclusion
W riting a research proposal for tissue
engineering is a critical task as it involves
sharing different aspects related to the
research that is being planned by an individual.
A proper planning and d esign of the research can
assure success. Also it is imperative that
while preparing a r esearch proposal one should
include all the key points that would be helpful
for the reviewer to understand the
research. The researcher should also provide a
conclusion which discusses the future scope of
the approach applied in addition to its benefits
and application in present situation.
