Structure of Project Proposal

 Project Title
 Brief introduction / summary of existing literature
 The hypothesis and objective
 Methodology
 Results
 Discussion
 Reference

Writing proposal
 Keep in mind well presented proposal will be approved
 Avoid long and convoluted titles
There is stylist Golden rule
 Clear objective / objective should be straight to the point
 Justify your objective : because its interesting in not enough
 Avoid long solid blocks use smaller paragraph
 Write short sentences
 If applicable insert pictures / graphs/ tables etc between paragraph or to break up test
Introduction
 Introduce the area of research
 Review key publication
 Identify any gap in the knowledge or question which have to be addressed
 Your hypothesis
 Aims and objectives, including brief descriptions of methodology
Plagiarism
 Give citation for other work
 Rewrite sentences in your style
Think about
 Connectivity between sentences
 Connectivity between paragraphs
 Strong negative comments
 Strong claim
 Double negative to make sentences positive

Sample Outline
The following is a sample outline for a project proposal. Note that all questions for a
section may not apply to your proposal, and should be used as a general guide only.

1. Introduction (1 or 2 paragraphs)
o Motivation Sentence
o Summarize the problem (1 or 2 sentences)
o Summarize the solution (1 or 2 sentences)
o Describe format of rest of proposal (sections, etc.)
2. Motivation (1 to 3 paragraphs)
o What is the history of the problem?
o Why is this problem interesting?
o When and why does the problem occur?
o Is the problem already solved? What is done now?
o Are there any similar systems or solutions to the one you propose? If so,
reference and very briefly explain them.
o Are there are possible improvements to current solutions?
3. Project Summary (1 paragraph)
o What in general will this project achieve? (Do not delve into details or
timelines.)
4. Project Details
o Architecture and Environment (2-3 paragraphs + figures)
 Describe the project environment (software, hardware, languages,
organizations, etc.)
 Diagrams and figures are useful here if appropriate.
 What software, hardware, or tools will you use?
o Implementation Issues and Challenges (2-3 paragraphs)
 What will be the most difficult issues and challenges in the
implementation?
 How are you using or extending current tools/systems for your
problem?
 What makes your project unique?
o Deliverables (3-5 paragraphs - point-form may be used for some of the
description)
 What will the project produce? (program, report, etc.)
 Describe in relative detail the features of each of the project's
products.
 You may wish to separate deliverables into phases and indicate
optional components given time.
 Emphasize what your project contributes or achieves!

2
 o Timeline (1 paragraph - point-form is suitable)
 Provide an estimated timeline of project deliverables and
important dates.
5. Conclusion (1 paragraph)
o Summarize the project including the problem, motivation, and proposed
solution, and re-state important (planned) contributions.
6. References
o List references used to compile proposal and references that will be used
for project (if already known).
