Some Key Points for writing a successful proposal
• Extensive literature review (published articles, patents, funded projects)reviewers search online to check for similar works
• Preliminary research is essential (a project preparation requires 4-6 months team
commitment)
• Proposal format (requirements and guidelines)
• Need to highlight Novelty, and commercialization aspects
• Broader impact (educational, result dissemination, minority and diversity)- short
term and long term
• Detailed tasks, milestones and deliverables
• Investigators and team composition expertise and Senior Personnel Time
commitments (existing projects, time commitment)
• For some agencies, it may be useful to talk to the PM on the proposed topic, also
participate in industry day, pre-proposal, etc.
