specifications given by the funder or if there is none the following parts should be present:
Introduction

Demonstrate that you understand the mission of the funding agency and the types of
projects that they support. Identify how your project meets the goals of the funder.
Identify any other funders that will be involved and their interest in the project where
appropriate. Introduce the question, problem, or need to be addressed.
Purpose/Need
- Briefly provide supporting documentation for the importance of addressing this question,
problem, or need. If you have statistical data, use it. Cite significant and compelling
sources. Why does this project matter? Make sure you cite or refer to what others have
accomplished relative to your project.
Project Description
- Concisely describe what you plan to do, your approach, who benefits and potential
impacts.
Goals/Objectives
- Outline your goals, objectives/aims, and research questions. Goals are simply a clearer
statement of the vision, specifying the accomplishments to be achieved if the vision is to
become real. The target objectives/aims are clearer statements of the specific activities
required to achieve the goals. A goal is a statement describing a broad or abstract intent,
state or condition. An objective is a statement of action or intent to achieve measurable
outcomes that relate to the goal.
