Final project (10 points): Based on the topics we cover; students must select a topic to write a 1200 words paper
Introductory Paragraph: In this paragraph, your goal should be to introduce your research subject to the reviewers and quickly capture their attention. This paragraph should describe the significant gap in knowledge that directly relates to the critical need the funding entity deals with.
It is critical to know your funding entity’s mission statement and ensure the critical need you are trying to fill fits well within its mission. It should include the following information: • First Sentence/Hook: Explain WHAT your research topic is and WHY it is critical that you conduct the research.
Convey that your research will fill this gap using the funding that you are requesting. You can emphasize the most important words or phrases in your Specific Aims page by using italics or underline, but do so moderately. Overuse of italics or underlining can be distracting.
Additionally, it should be clear in this paragraph that your research proposes the next logical step to advance the field. II. The Second Paragraph In this paragraph, your goal should be to introduce the solution that fills the gap in knowledge. It is critical to convince your reviewers that you (and your colleagues) have the solution to address the current knowledge gap and the expertise to accomplish this solution. Keep your wording simple, relevant, and to the point. You will want to address the following points:
In other cases, you may be seeking to develop a critical tool or technique in the proposal. Based on these variations, this paragraph will shape up differently. However, it should include the following components: • Long-Term Goal: This is your overarching research goal.
Align your long-term goals with the mission of your funding entity. Keep your wording general in this sentence—you are stating your long-term plans, and the reviewers understand that the specifics may be subject to change. • Hypothesis and Proposal Objectives:
Your proposal should contain both of these components, depending on the long-term goal. State your central hypothesis clearly, specifically, and with simple language. Describe how your project addresses the critical need, and clearly state the proposed solution. In general, avoid vague hypotheses because it will be unclear to the reviewers what you expect to determine with the proposed research.
