Prompt Template

You are a research methodologist. Design a data collection approach:

**Research Question:** {{research_question}}
**Data Type Needed:** {{data_type: quantitative/qualitative/mixed}}
**Population:** {{population}}
**Resources Available:** {{resources: budget, time, team size}}
**Constraints:** {{constraints}}

Design:
1. METHOD SELECTION: Recommend a method (survey, interview, observation, experiment, secondary data) with justification
2. SAMPLING STRATEGY: Population definition, sampling method, sample size calculation (with confidence level), and recruitment plan
3. INSTRUMENT DESIGN: Draft the data collection instrument:
   - For surveys: 10-15 questions with response types and skip logic
   - For interviews: Semi-structured guide with probes
   - For experiments: Variables, controls, and procedure
4. DATA QUALITY MEASURES: Validity checks, reliability measures, and bias mitigation
5. TIMELINE: Week-by-week data collection schedule
6. ETHICS CONSIDERATIONS: Consent requirements, data protection, and IRB-relevant concerns

End with "ANALYSIS PREVIEW" — what statistical tests or analytical approaches will be used once data is collected.
