How to recruit ‘right’ participants?

(Theoretically, we all know)

◦Surveying the whole population of our target group is most ideal approach to understand the target group.

(Realistically, we know)

◦We usually don’t have sufficient resources to conduct a census on our target group.

(Therefore)

Random sampling V.S. Convenient sampling (e.g. participants randomly recruited throughout a country v.s. participants recruited from class students)

Why do we need research grants?

◦Fund individual research programs

◦Fund Graduate research
◦Enhanced university research capacity/reputation

The main purpose of applying for funding/grants is to obtain the essential resources to accomplish the desired research.
