>>REVIEWERS' TIPS ON WRITING DEAN'S SMALL GRANT PROPOSALS
>>
>>Make sure your proposal is well written and can be understood by an
>>educated layperson.
>>
>>Choose a project of limited scope.  For example, ask for a grant to fund
>>the data collection phase of your dissertation; don't ask for $750 toward
>>the total expenses of your entire thesis or dissertation work.
>>
>>In the first paragraph, state your project's basic idea or problem, its
>>relationship to your research (thesis, dissertation), the amount of funding
>>you are requesting, and the expected date of completion.
>>
>>Describe the relevance of your project to research in your field or your
>>own creative development.  What is unique about your research or creative
>>project; how will it contribute to your field?
>>
>>Describe the methodology you will use to conduct your study.
>>
>>Comment on your own individual skills and experience (including foreign
>>language skills, if relevant) and how they will contribute to your project.
>>
>>Use section heads to organize your proposal rather than writing 2 pages of
>>straight narrative.
>>
>>If your project involves access to special collections or interviews with
>>specific people, state that you have received permission to use the
>>collection or to interview the person.
>>
>>If you request funds for conference travel, state how the conference travel
>>will contribute to your research or creative work.  (Grants are not awarded
>>to present findings of research that has already been completed.)
>>
>>Budget:
>>
>>Reviewers scrutinize the budget page; quote specific expenses.
>>
>>If you request funds to cover only a portion of your budget, please explain
>>other sources of funding.
>>
>>Use the budget page to explain your request.  You may add narrative to
>>justify your expenses.
