This is a working draft so will change. As my research committee is in four countries on 3 continents, I have set up a group where I can work with them and a few other people who have some special interest in my research. You are invited to follow what is happening there and if you feel you have an ongoing interest in participating, please message me and I will see about inviting you to participate in that group. I just need to keep the traffic in that group low for some of the other participants. This is here using an on-include directive so reflects the current state of the worksheet. You can look at the revisions there if you want to see how things develop.
Links are not working here for some reason???? (They work when you format them correctly!)
Sorry, you don't have permission to read that group ("/ububu/formal research proposal").

Linda, I'm not sure where you changed it but my challenge was in the following paragraph.
- Statement of the Problem
Because this process depends significantly on agricultural self production to provide for basic sustenance needs, current development indicators are inadequate in measuring development success in sufficiency development models. Currently purported "development" indicators either significantly depend on a measurement of per capita GNP or they are based on subjective evaluations of happiness. Because of the age, education and traumatic lives of the children involve in the Community at Opok Farms in Uganda, there is concern that subjective evaluation tools might not accurately reflect the conditions in the community.

Linda this is great! I especially love this part:
This is such a much better timing and I am so glad to see you've been able to reincorporate us into your work.
Just one minor thing to edit - in the first part you mention the Omidyar.net conference interest but not the name of the project. In the second part you mention the Opok Farms project but it's not clear what or where that is. A strengthened link between the two somehow would be good.
So excited to pick your brain more about this when I see you in Feb!
