Other Info Proper format for a Research Scholar proposal
- The proposal should be a maximum of 5 pages if you are a sole Principal Investigator.
- The proposal should be a maximum of 7 pages if you have a co-Principal Investigator and want to include the co-Principal Investigator’s CV (a 2-page CV for a co-Principal Investigator is optional). a. If you choose not to include the co-Principal Investigator’s CV then your proposal should only be 5 pages. b. The extra 2 pages will only accommodate for an additional CV, not for additional proposal content.
- The maximum page limit includes the 2-page CV of the primary Principal Investigator, which is required for all applications (again a 2-page CV for a co-Principal Investigator is optional).
- To be fair to you and others, we do not consider proposals longer than the maximum page limit.
- We request a Google Scholar profile link as part of the online application form. Our reviewers find it helpful to be able to easily reference a Principal Investigator's publication history to see how the current proposal relates to past work the Principal Investigator has done in relevant fields. The Google Scholar profile complements, but does not replace, the Principal Investigator's 2-page CV.
- We do not require a budget breakdown since we have flat funding amounts we will grant based on region.
- We would prefer proposals to respect a minimum 10pt font size and 1-inch (2.5-cm) margins. Our reviewers value readability.
- Below is an example of what a proposal may look like (though the relative length of each section may differ by proposal).
