Abstract: While many primary care practitioners want to conduct research，many also struggle with getting started.This article's purpose is to assist emerging researchers in identifying a topic of interest，to try the "fit" of feasible research approaches and commit to a research approach.The article addresses six objectives：identify how important primary care research comes from clinical stories；recognise how clinical stories become the source of research topics；discern how the research process resembles the care of patients；distinguish the essential features of six research approaches feasible for primary care researchers；evaluate the fit of the six research approaches featured in this special issue；and develop a list of steps that need to be taken to implement primary care research projects.Using "HPV（human papilloma） vaccination" as a hypothetical topic，the article illustrates how an emerging researcher can complete the worksheets.Using the HPV topic，a worksheet illustration shows how to complete the worksheets，and examples from the literature illustrate how actual studies have used six feasible research approaches for primary care：survey research，semistructured qualitative interviews，curriculum development，continuous quality improvement，clinical policy analysis and case study research.The worksheet exercises support choosing a feasible research approach for emerging researchers.Emerging researchers using these exercises can identify a topic，choose a research strategy aligned with the researcher's interest，create a study title，develop a list of the next steps，and be well positioned to implement an original research project.
