TSPPPA Capstone Course: Request For Project Proposals

Does your employer want assistance on a substantial analytical project? For over twenty years, our Capstone course has provided graduate students the opportunity to complete a pro-bono project for external clients as their final master's degree requirement. To learn more about how your employer could be a TSPPPA Capstone client, please visit https://tspppa.gwu.edu/capstone.

Project Scope

Please provide details of what you anticipate would be a meaningful and useful project to your employer. This will be a starting point to get students interested in the project. However, constructing a mutually advantageous and feasible research effort is often a process that may evolve even after the agreement on an initial scope of work. It is important that the scope of work is reasonable and achievable in the 8-10 week project timeline. Students likely will be taking other courses or working full or part-time while doing their Capstone project.

Project Goals / Outcomes

What overall goals or outcomes do you hope to see as a result of this project?

Resources Needed

What resources do you know students likely need for the project? Resources may include but are not limited to existing datasets, access to interview or survey respondents for original data collection, and documents. Minor financial expenses associated with resources for the capstone project likely can be covered by the school. However, if you know of any major expenses, for example out of state travel costs or purchase of an expensive dataset, please note them and explain whether you are able to cover the cost.

Would you be willing to support more than one student team?

From time to time, we have uneven student interest across projects. Some clients are willing to take on more than one team to accommodate more students. Note that these teams will work independent of each other, however, they can share resources where it makes sense.
