Tips for Writing a Good Proposal

A. Getting Started

Before you begin, review all available information about the submission guidelines, format, deadlines, evaluation criteria and process.
Outline the details of the proposal before you being to write; e.g., purpose, aims, background, theoretical framework, methodology, outcomes, timetable, personnel, and resources.
Know the literature and use current references to strengthen and justify the need for your project.

B. Suggestions on Writing

Use language that is clear, concise, objective and direct.
Write to the audience who will review the proposal; be sure they can understand your proposal.
Explain the urgency and timeliness of this work.
Define terms as appropriate and be consistent in the use of terms, concepts or variables throughout the proposal. Do not use interchangeable concepts that may have similar but different meanings.
Read the guidelines carefully. Then read them again. When you are completed, read them once more.
Follow the directions COMPLETELY - this is a formal process.
Consult with colleagues to review your proposal.
Be sure that the purpose, aims, framework, approach, and outcomes are logically linked and have been addressed in enough detail that reviewers have a clear understanding of what you propose to do.
