Creating a Research Agenda

by UW alumni Justin Reedy, Ph.D., Communication, and Madhavi Murty, Ph.D., Communication, in conversation with UW graduate students

Creating a research agenda should be a major goal for all graduate students—regardless of theoretical interests, methodological preferences, or career aspirations. A research agenda helps you orient yourself toward both short- and long-term goals; it will guide your selection of classes, help you decide which academic conferences (and within those, which specific divisions) to engage in, and steer you in recruiting mentors and research collaborators.

What is a research agenda?  It’s a plan and a focus on issues and ideas in a subset of your field. You cannot study everything in your field during your time in graduate school, so decide what to focus on now, and what to defer until another day.

Research agendas are not set in concrete;  they naturally change over time as your knowledge grows and as new research questions emerge.

Don’t be intimidated.  Many students may start a graduate program with only a few ideas of areas they would like to study, or perhaps a few general research questions. Graduate courses, conversations with faculty and fellow students, and time spent reading the literature in the field can help you start to form a research agenda out of those ideas or research questions.

How to get started

• Talk with faculty members about your general interests. Use faculty as a resource to find out which topics are over-studied and where additional work is needed.
• If there are students with similar or overlapping interests, get their perspectives as well.
• Read a great deal, even in the early weeks of your graduate work. Be open to reading research outside your immediate areas of interests and seeing how they link to your own areas.
• Ask faculty for reading lists or copies of syllabi. Such resources help you familiarize yourself with the research already done in areas that interest you. Be sure to follow up on citations that are interesting or intriguing.
• Identify key authors relevant to your interests. Read their scholarship and understand the work that has informed their research.

Advancing your agenda

• Identify courses that will help advance your research agenda—both in terms of specific knowledge about the issues and relevant methods. Remember that the title of a class might not always fully describe it, so contact the professor to find out more about class content.
• Look both inside and outside the department for classes—and look outside especially in your second year in the program. Graduate students in interdisciplinary fields, for example, may find very valuable classes in diverse departments.
• Think specifically about the research questions you want to ask, and think about how you will answer them. Then pick courses to help you in reaching this goal.
• Try to use class assignments to advance your research agenda. If possible, use each seminar paper as a way to focus on a specific part of your overall agenda —whether it be a literature review or a proposal for a study.
• Don’t be afraid to take a chance on a course that seems somewhat outside of your agenda or your comfort zone. If the topics or research methods covered in the course draw your interest, you could find a way to incorporate those into your overarching research agenda.

Conference papers, colloquia, and research articles

• Ask faculty members if they have research projects in which you can participate.
• Work with more than one faculty member. Different faculty members provide different perspectives even if they are interested in the same concepts.
• Talk to faculty and other graduate students about conferences you should attend (and conference paper deadlines). Use conference paper deadlines to pace your own research production.
• Present your work at conferences, listen to others’ ideas, and solicit feedback on your research.
• Consider working towards the publication of your papers. With enough feedback and guidance from faculty, fellow graduate students, and colleagues in the field, what starts out as a seminar or conference paper could turn into a journal article or book chapter.
• Attend talks and colloquia on campus—both inside and outside your department. These talks can help you generate research ideas and help you see your research in a new light.
• Recruit others to work with you on projects. Student collaborations are especially fruitful when the constituent members have similar interests, but bring different yet complementary perspectives and skills to the endeavor.

What is a research agenda?

A research agenda is a strategic plan that outlines the goals, priorities, and areas of investigation for future research endeavors.  It serves as a roadmap, guiding researchers toward meaningful and impactful work. In the context of WHO, a research agenda identifies priority areas and gaps in health information and research, shaping new avenues for investigation and innovation for public health. A research prioritization document ranks the agenda to provide the most pressing areas to focus efforts. As the custodian of norms and standards for health information and research, WHO supports countries in the identification of research priorities and product gaps that will guide new areas of investigation and innovation.   WHO actively promotes fairness and equity in research, including support for open access to research through shared data and publication platforms. 

Benefits of WHO research agendas and priorities

WHO research agendas, priorities and roadmaps have particular requirements and specific objectives:   

• Enabling researchers, developers and funders to align their research with public health priorities  
• Integrating implementation and end-user needs and considerations into R&D with a specific focus on the most vulnerable populations  
• Including a wide range of stakeholders to ensure the research agenda and priorities will meet public health needs 

A research agenda setting exercise is a thorough process identifying and ranking research required for public health impact on a particular theme. Clear research priorities allow resource allocation, and research roadmaps clearly articulate timeframes and who is responsible for implementation to reach the public health goals. National research agendas identify priorities for public health outcomes in a country’s context and may cover several thematic areas. 

Content and structure of WHO research agendas and priorities

A research priority setting document should contain the following:  

• Introduction: Contextualize the agenda, highlighting its purpose and relevance, and what is already known. 
• Public health need: Clearly define the public health need to be addressed, including disease outcomes or risk factors, desired change, and the time frame to be covered. 
• Methodology: Describe the approach to research prioritization. Be transparent on the methodology chosen and why. Articulate the value judgements such as on cost effectiveness, feasibility, inclusivity. A wide range of relevant stakeholders should be engaged. 
• Priorities: Provide a clear short list of priorities to facilitate action, these may be grouped for example by time frame or research area. 
• Implementation: Explain how the agenda should be implemented and by whom to align stakeholders and accelerate impact. 
• Monitoring and Evaluation: Explain how progress will be assessed, and what would trigger a reevaluation of the research priorities.

Development of research agendas and priorities

The systematic approach for undertaking a research priority-setting exercise guide is based on a collection of good practice examples and methodologies drawn from across WHO and more widely. The document sets out a systematic approach to guide how to Plan, Implement, Publish and Evaluate (PIPE) a research priority-setting process. The approach provides a systematic guide to assist planning and implementing a quality research priority-setting exercise that will match the context. The resulting exercise should contain legitimate and credible priorities that have been developed in an ethical and equitable manner.

There are many different methodologies for developing research priorities, however the processes should contain the same steps, namely:  

• Identifying the objectives, what is the public health need? 
• Understanding the research landscape
• Planning the methodology to be used 
• Collating stakeholders with a broad range of experience to be involved in the prioritization process 
• Holding consultations or surveys to identify research areas or questions, and then to prioritize them 
• Publish and disseminate the priorities 
• Implement the research priorities 
• Monitor and evaluate the outcome eg on funding, product development or public health outcomes 
• Determine when the research priorities need to be updated

Developing a research agenda

Y our research agenda plays a critical role in designing and planning your scholarly research and publication activities. Establishing your research agenda means deciding which research areas you will explore and the methodologies you will employ, then letting these guide your research activities. As we have all probably heard from our own graduate school professors, it is impossible to study everything in your field, and you must focus on topics that prove interesting to you and present solid publishing opportunities. Tenure committees generally like andriol bodybuilding to see assistant professors establish a consistent line of research or a few complementary lines of research, comprising their research agenda. Because of this, you should avoid a scattershot approach to research by developing a clear agenda and following it in your scholarly activities. In today’s post, I will describe the value of a research agenda and how to go about developing a research agenda.

There are several philosophical and practical reasons to establish your research agenda early in your career.

First, universities want to see that you are working toward or have achieved a national reputation in your field of expertise. A tightly focused research agenda helps achieve this desired prominence through specialty in a specific area. If your research bounces around among a variety of relatively disconnected projects, it becomes difficult for your committee, and particularly external reviewers, to establish and validate your areas of expertise.

Additionally, your work on multiple similar research studies creates significant efficiencies for you. For example, you do not need to learn a new body of research in order to write your literature reviews, and you are already familiar with journals that publish on your topic. Overall, if you maintain consistency with your topic, you can more easily and quickly publish your research. 

Many early career faculty that I have worked with do not have a single line of inquiry forming their research agenda.

Tenure committees and external reviewers understand this; they know that you may not have a single, isolated line of academic exploration. They realize that prospective candidates may have, for example, two related concepts that they studied extensively in graduate school, worked on as part of a laboratory, or which were part of their dissertation.  

As long as you can articulate each line of inquiry, describe the relationships between each line, and demonstrate your expertise in the two (or at most three) lines of academic inquiry, most review committees will find this appropriate.

However, if your research appears to be a collection of random projects lacking a common thread, tenure committees may rightly question whether you have demonstrated expertise and developed the level of national reputation necessary to achieve tenure.

For pre-tenure faculty struggling to articulate their own research agendas, I recommend studying the careers of major researchers in your field.

To do this, get a copy of the vita of a significant and well-respected researcher.

Next, look at the years prior to when this established scholar received tenure–you will see how their line of research progressed throughout their career.

In academic research, it takes a while to build up the knowledge and data to answer specific questions. Over time, as an academic’s methodologies advance and their knowledge base grows, you will likely see their research questions change.

When looking at a full professor with 25 years of research experience, for example, many pre-tenure faculty fail to fully appreciate how research agendas evolve. These professors did not magically exit graduate school with the focus and expertise they possess today. By studying the early years of prominent researchers, you can learn how their agendas evolved and grew over time, which can help you compose your own research agenda.

In addition, examining the research agenda of a senior colleague in your field can help show how they bring disparate ideas together.

Think about it: There are many ideas that may seem inseparable today, but this may not have been the case at the early part of the expert’s career.

When studying a senior professor’s research agenda, you can begin to see the connections and the concepts that anchor an entire research career.

While the context, the theoretical framing, and methodological approaches may be different throughout the years, the common underlying themes that form the foundation of their research agenda will become apparent.

Pre-tenure faculty should take time to delineate these central concepts in their own work early in their careers, working to both articulate and foreground them in the research they will undertake during the pre-tenure years.

Just as a meeting agenda provides a list of decision points for discussion, a research agenda provides a framework for making decisions about research activities.

During the first few years as a faculty member, it is tempting to jump at any research opportunity that comes along. When you are worried about having a significant number of publications, any potential promise of publication looks attractive. You will need a lens through which to determine whether to pursue any given opportunity.

A strong and clearly articulated research agenda can serve this purpose, providing boundaries for scholarly activities and publishing.

New projects and initiatives may easily capture your attention, but evaluating a new research opportunity’s relationship to the research agenda will help you better consider the worthiness of a project.

Only if a new opportunity isin line with your research agenda should you then ask more nuanced questions such as the amount of time it requires or the its value to tenure review committees.  

Even if the opportunity provides access to the top journal in your field or to a prestigious conference, I would recommend thinking twice and discussing with mentors before pursuing a publication not in line with your research agenda.

Establishing a research agenda and sharing it with colleagues lays the groundwork for all the research activities you will undertake during your pre-tenure years.

This post is an excerpt from my book, How to Get Tenure: Strategies for Successfully Navigating the Process (Routledge, 2019).

Communicating Science Effectively

A research agenda.

Science and technology are embedded in virtually every aspect of modern life. As a result, people face an increasing need to integrate information from science with their personal values and other considerations as they make important life decisions about medical care, the safety of foods, what to do about climate change, and many other issues. Communicating science effectively, however, is a complex task and an acquired skill. Moreover, the approaches to communicating science that will be most effective for specific audiences and circumstances are not obvious. Fortunately, there is an expanding science base from diverse disciplines that can support science communicators in making these determinations.

Communicating Science Effectively offers a research agenda for science communicators and researchers seeking to apply this research and fill gaps in knowledge about how to communicate effectively about science, focusing in particular on issues that are contentious in the public sphere. To inform this research agenda, this publication identifies important influences – psychological, economic, political, social, cultural, and media-related – on how science related to such issues is understood, perceived, and used.

Research Agenda Examples: How to Write [10 Free Templates]

A research agenda is an action plan that outlines the tasks that need to be prioritised within a particular field of study or research and the execution system of these tasks.

This agenda is a guiding tool for students with specific interests in a subject or field of research who intend to attain predetermined objectives by the end of their studies. 

Most students joining college and university or undertaking research projects will usually have vague ideas of what they want to achieve. A research agenda helps them have a starting point based on their interests, short-term and long-term goals – factors that are vital in decision making, such as deciding the courses and classes to take. The agenda is adaptable in that students can adjust themselves as they progress with their studies or research based on their interactions with faculty, fellow students, research on a particular field, and gaining more knowledge on their chosen academic path .

The agenda improves the student’s sense of direction, thus allowing them to focus on specific areas of their chosen field study. Having an agenda improves your effectiveness as time and resources can be directed to the significant areas of the research topic. A good agenda for research will outline the type of research project, research methods, and tasks to be completed.

Pre-Writing Considerations

A research agenda should help a student get more organised and plan their immediate and future plans within the academic institution. Therefore, the agenda should be specific to the student and must be helpful for them.

Before writing your agenda, consider the following pre-writing considerations:

Discuss your area of interest with the faculty

Consult with faculty and let them know your general interests. Faculty members are typically more informed on general areas of study. They can help you narrow down to the lines of study where there is demand for more expertise and where you can explore your interests further.

Do research

Carry out exhaustive research on the particular field of interest. This will involve a lot of reading and consultations. Gather enough information , and do not hesitate to use external sources and areas outside your immediate interests; it is not unusual to stumble upon a subject that really captures your attention and interest.

Ask your faculty for resources 

Ask faculty for additional resources where you can get further insight into the options available to you. They might recommend relevant dissertations, books, seminars, or conferences you can attend to gather more information on what you should focus on in school. Also, ask for any ongoing projects you can participate in. Ensure to consult more than one faculty member; different members will have diverse inputs and perspectives, all of which can be used to improve your agenda. Note that you can use resources within and without the department; for example, engaging with other graduate students on which conferences are better suited for your field of study can be greatly beneficial.

Consider the second year of the program you are assessing. Sometimes, valuable classes in other interdisciplinary fields may provide further insight into creating a research agenda that helps you arrive at the best possible study options.

Identify key authors relevant to your interests

Visit the library or search online for authors whose bodies of work are related to your interests. Read their books, dissertations, and scholarly work and see how they applied their knowledge to your area of interest in research or real-life scenarios. This can help you determine your role in society after successfully completing your course. Citations are also good sources for materials to read.

Take courses relevant to your interests

Try as much as possible to select courses that align with your interests. This gives you extra motivation to undertake their requirements and be extra motivated throughout them. However, this should not be the sole factor of taking courses. Expand your list of options by identifying areas that spark a novel interest even though they appear to be apart from your passions. 

Use class assignments to advance your research agenda

Class assignments are also viable tools for acquiring more information on how to improve your research agenda. Look into the term papers and identify topics or areas of study being majored on and research further on the same.

Talk to students with similar interests and collaborate

Anytime you interact with students with similar or overlapping interests, get their opinion on the particular areas of study. They may have a different perspective on the courses or areas of study that would best suit your interests.

How to Write Research Agenda

A research agenda should be comprehensive and detailed enough to help you make an informed decision on what you should be aiming for or prioritising to study.

Below are steps to help you write a good agenda:

Describe your area of interest

Firstly, indicate your area of interest. You can provide some background information on how your specific interest came about, its significance in society, and list any accomplishments in this particular field.

Describe the problem statement(s)

Next, justify the identified area of interest. The agenda should show the problems that the specified area of research can be applied to solve. These problems can be narrowed down to those that align with your interests. Therefore, if there is a challenge you always wanted to solve or be part of the solution, and you would like to focus on areas that help you work towards that, you can expound on how this is possible at this point. 

Research methods relevant to your topical area

After the problem statement , identify the research methods you will use to collect information and make the decision on which classes to take. Different methods can be used at this stage, including research groups, conference papers, programs, research articles, observing trends, scholarly works, consultations, etc. Be specific when indicating the research methods. For example, when consulting with faculty members, talk to multiple members as it broadens the perspective with which you will write the agenda.

Include research questions

The next step in creating this agenda is formulating questions that arose during your exploration of the identified areas of study. Questions can be associated with a specific topic, approach, argument, or method of doing things. As you advance in your studies or research, you may find answers to these questions by using what is already known or discovering new ways to address the questions.

Name collaborators, if any

Afterward, indicate any collaborators you have worked with or intend to work with. List the collaborators’ names and their respective capacities or positions. Collaborators can be professors, faculty members, or organisations that deal with the area of study you will be focused on.  

List your finest ideas

Next, indicate any ideas that will be helpful in actualizing your research agenda. These can range from in-between certifications you wish to achieve, applications that will be of use down the line, or targets you wish to achieve every year. Come up with ideas that will be sustainable for two to five years from now.

Describe the grants and their deadlines

The agenda should then outline any funding opportunities available to support your research in the particular area of study. Provide a brief description that indicates the name of the grant program, the grantor, a brief overview of the type of research they support, and the associated deadline for submission of proposals .

Include scholarly communication outlets

Lastly, indicate scholarly platforms related to your interest in the research area where you plan on joining and sharing your work. Examples of scholarly platforms are conferences, journals, research papers , publications, and books. Consider actively participating in these outlets by presenting your work and asking for feedback. Try not to limit yourself to conferences within your department; venture into other departmental conferences, as you can always pick up a new idea that enhances your research agenda.

Essential Tips to Write a Good Research Agenda

To improve the quality of your research agenda, below are several writing and planning techniques you can use.

They include:

Clarify your ideas first

Choose an area of study, whether it is from a point of curiosity, brainstorming, or educated analysis. Gather background information and engage with professors and colleagues as you work to refine your idea. Also, research your course to develop strong research questions.

Divide and prioritise all tasks

Create your agenda by breaking down the field of study into subsets or tasks that contribute to the overall objectives you wish to achieve. There are multiple requirements any student has to satisfy in order to complete a graduate program successfully; list them as items that define your journey in the particular area of research. Examples of tasks that a student may have to complete include test results targets, presentations that one has to present at a conference, submission of a proposal, etc. 

Keep your agenda flexible

Always create a flexible agenda to accommodate different alternatives and opportunities for accomplishing your set goals . It is acceptable to change to a plan with a more positive impact or better outcome than the original plan.

Keep refining

Keep your agenda up-to-date as you acquire more knowledge in your field of study. Add any supporting data such as a Venn diagram , research findings, or concept maps that add objectivity to your agenda.

Don’t be intimidated

Do not be scared to start your research agenda even if you do not have much knowledge on the specific research area to go on. Carry out personal research, consult with faculty members, and discuss with course mates to get more insight. 

Final Thoughts

A research agenda is a good opportunity for students to align what they study with their interests and things they care about. It helps students plan for the tasks they need to undertake to complete their graduate programs in an organised fashion successfully. An agenda should be a continuously changing document as the user progressively gains more insight into their specific area of study. A comprehensive research agenda outlines what needs to be done, the methods that will be used to grow in the field of study, academic and professional targets, collaborators, and any other details that make up the system of the set goals.

How to Create an Effective Academic Research Agenda Using Template

Academic research is a critical part of any university or college student’s studies. From conducting experiments to writing papers, the process of researching and documenting data can be overwhelming if you don’t have a plan. To help streamline the process, creating an effective academic research agenda template can make all the difference. Creating an effective academic research agenda using a template can provide a structured framework and streamline the process. Here are steps to help you create an effective research agenda using a template:

Select a Suitable Research Agenda Template

Look for research agenda templates that align with your needs and research area. Templates are often available online or through academic institutions. Choose a template that includes sections for research goals, research questions, methodology, timeline, and any other relevant components.

In the midst of a range of unprecedented global events, geopolitical developments, and health, climate, socio-economic, and humanitarian crises, which have challenged assumptions about the nature and purpose of education, this chapter frames the book as an attempt to engage with a window of opportunity for shaping educational trajectories for the future. The purpose of the chapter is to introduce the principal themes of the book, and the research on which this work is based, through a nuanced and meticulous unpacking of the paradoxes and dilemmas arising between the assessment and inclusion agendas in education. The chapter argues that an analysis of these two agendas offers insights into how assessment and inclusion constitute and epitomise internal and external agendas as well as the multiplicity of dimensions associated with education. Finally, the chapter briefly introduces the empirical case contexts analysed in the book and presents the chapter structure of the book.

In England, formal, standardised tests are referred to as “exams”. In many classrooms, a test might be considered “an end of unit test”—synonymous with the US term “quiz”. Tests tend to be seen as something “smaller” in England. In Argentina there also is a distinction between test and exam, that is, final exams, mid-term exams, and integrative exams.

It should be duly noted that the tradition of critical pedagogy has been severely criticised from post-structural and feminist perspectives for being “implicated in the very structures they are trying to change” (Ellsworth, 1989 , p. 310) and guilty of reductionism not considering the complexities of societal interactions surrounding education (Stańczyk, 2021 ).
