Full Propsal

Background:
At this point, it is time to compile all the components of your proposal. While you have written most of the components, there are still some steps to take: revision of previous material and creation of the front and back matter. The goal is to have a complete proposal that can be adapted to meet the submittal requirements of various sponsors as necessary. That means there are still a few components to write.
Throughout the process of grant funding, different parts of your proposal may be read or used by different people at different times. While your document should be “user-friendly” in the sense that the layout makes it easy to read, a few new items will need to be written and included to make the ideas in your large document accessible to busy audiences.
Tasks:
1. You should make sure that necessary revisions have been made for each component so that they are as complete and as (ethically) persuasive as possible. Make sure that your components are transparent, that the writing is clear, and that you have made the best case you can using the strategies of argumentation covered in this course.
2. Write your front matter. Front matter will include a cover page, an abstract, and an executive summary (to supplement the query you wrote in Topic 3). Your cover page should include all the information necessary for a reader to identify quickly and easily the following: your project, the names of the institutions involved, key contacts for the proposal, and the amount requested. The cover page should also include an abstract of about 150 words that summarizes the basic information about your proposal: what need your proposal meets and the general course of action the project will take. Your executive summary should be a longer summary that includes information about the major components, including the problem/need, the solution, evaluation plan/sustainability, and amount requested.
3. Assemble your back matter–an appendix with supporting documentation, as necessary. Appendices may include a variety of documents that are important for your proposal but do not fit into other sections easily. Understand funders’ requirements for backup information and appendices. These might include available resources, letters of collaboration, biographical sketches, milestone charts, site approvals, data management plans, summaries of previous funding, human and animal subject approvals. As necessary, make each part of your appendix easy to identify using explanations, captions, or other strategies for identifying material for the reader.
