The Structural Elements of the Capstone Research Report

Policy reports directly reflect the different roles that the policy analyst commonly plays, i.e. from researcher to advocate. The type of report that you are writing is one from the more action-oriented, advocacy end of the continuum (but that is nevertheless based purely on evidence and not your opinion). Although there is much variation even at this end of the scale, the most common elements of the policy brief are as follows:

Title of the Policy Report
Executive Summary
Context and Importance of the Problem (also called the Introduction)
Pre-existing Policies, Policy Options, and Research
Conclusion
Policy Recommendations
