UX Research > Ability to submit research proposals
Proposal
In order to expand the breadth of people interested in furthering UX research efforts at GitLab, we should provide an easy way to submit research proposals.
After some thought, the most boring solution may be an issue template that allows people to write their own hypothesis. The goal would be to come up with a template that helps guide a user through creating a proposal that helps our research team (ie. @sarahod).
This is just one idea that seems like the lowest hanging fruit to getting the concept of creating proposals out there. Maybe it is even possible to automatically add the UX research label when you select this template.
Template:
### Background:
(Include problem, use cases, benefits, and/or goals)
**What questions are you trying to answer?**
**Are you looking to verify an existing hypothesis or uncover new issues you should be exploring?**
**What is the backstory of this project and how does it impact the approach?**
**What do you already know about the areas you are exploring?**
**What does success look like at the end of the project?**
