What to include in the Research Proposal

Research Related

Hi all, I am applying for the MEXT scholarship through the university recommendation track as a master's student. While writing my research proposal, I came across several different ways to write it. I want to ask successful and current applicants how they wrote their research proposals. For context, I am applying for Economics/ political economics so my research is not "scientific" per se. This is what I am including in this order, should I change or add anything?

  1. Introduction

  2. Research Questions

  3. Objective

  4. Methodology

  5. Why does this matter?

Please let me know how you wrote your research proposal and what parts you included. Much appreciated.
