\begin{abstract}
The nucleon elastic form factors are important inputs to our 
understanding of the nucleon structure and hadronic physics. 
However, in the region $Q^2>2$~(GeV/c)$^2$ there is a large 
discrepancy between data on the proton $G_E^p/G_M^p$ ratio 
obtained using two different techniques - Rosenbluth 
separation and polarization transfer. Although recently it 
has been shown that the two-photon exchange (TPE) might be 
the solution, a full understanding of TPE has not been 
achieved. Whether it fully explains the discrepancy in the 
large $Q^2$ region and whether there are other mechanisms 
that may cause the discrepancy are still unknown. We present 
here a different approach aimed at understanding the 
$G_E^p/G_M^p$ data. We plan to measure the asymmetry of 
elastic ep scattering using a polarized beam and a polarized 
proton target, from which $G_E^p/G_M^p$ up to 
$Q^2=5.6$~(GeV/c)$^2$ will be extracted using the formalism 
of double polarization asymmetries. A proposal has been 
submitted to JLab PAC-26. The experimental setup and the 
expected uncertainties will be presented. This work is
