Here is my new and improved research plan. I hope you like it. I hope my topic is better. I think it has a clearer focus now. I also re-did my outline and keywords.
TOPIC: What medicines are required for HIV/AIDS patients to live fuller and longer lives?
TOPIC FOCUS: What medicines are available? What is the cost? What are the sides affects? Are these medications easily accessible?
SCOPE: The areas I would like to cover in my research include; what treatments and medicines are available, how do patients receive help to cover costs of treatments/medicines, what are some of the big dangers people living with HIV/AIDS face as far as possible dangerous side affects of some medications. I found some good articles on my AIDS research on Britannica Online. HIV and AIDS 2006, Health and Disease 2000, AIDS 1996.
OUTLINE: First thing is I would like to research the medications and various treatments that are available for HIV/AIDS. Then the cost of these medications and treatments; is there any help for those people who cannot afford them? I would also like to focus on the side affects of treatment and how some people wont receive treatment or take medications because of the severity.
ACADEMIC DISIPLINES: Psychology, Medical, Infectious Disease, Pharmaceutical.
KEY TERMS: Some medications for my research are; tipranavir, fosamprenavir, darunavit, and atazanavir, HAART- (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy). Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Treatment. Organizations: The HIV/AIDS Information Outreach Project. In this organization people have access to a significant amount of information and resources. Community Consortium. This is any organization where a person with HIV/AIDS could find a caregiver to help take care of them.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CLASSIFICATION AREAS: Pathology-RB1-214. Clinical Pathology-RB37-56.5. Manifestation of disease-RB127-150. Theories of Disease-RB151-214

Adam: This definitely looks better. My one suggestion is you might want to have your Topic be something very short and general (Treatment for people with HIV/AIDS or something like that) and get your Topic Question/Thesis down to one or two sentences or questions. You don't really need to have all four of those in your focus; they can be part of your scope. Remember what we discussed in another email that you do not want your topic question to be a question that can be easily answered by looking it up in one book or web site. Also, you are still missing some of the more specific LC subject headings (the number ranges are okay) Take a look at the short tutorial that I attached to the Class Discussion Forum on how to find these.
