Research A RFP will not usually state a prescribed number of research sources, but an application grounded in current research will be more competitive. For this project, include a minimum of five research sources, and list them in a references section at the end of your proposal. Cite your sources in APA style.

Document Design Because it is not an academic paper, your proposal will not follow APA formatting for document design. You will use APA-style citations on your references page, but the rest of your proposal should be designed for attractiveness and readability. Use layout, graphics, and typographical elements to assist your reader in navigating your document.

Grading Criteria The specific rubric for evaluating this project is on page 2 of this document. Use it as a checklist for evaluating your own work before you submit it to be graded.
