Guidelines in Writing a Concept Paper
1.Cost and
Methodology should be reasonable.
2.The budget,
methodology, and timeline should be clearly aligned.
3.Use statistics
and figures when discussing the rationale for the project.
4.Use no more
than 5 pages (single-spaced) excluding the cover page. Do not overwhelm the
readers with details.
5.Never request
funding for planning the proposal.
6.Adjust your
language to the intended readers. You may use technical terms if readers are
scholars and scientists. However, refrain from using jargon when your target
readers are lay persons.
7.Include the
overview of the budget if it is required. If not, then skip the budget section.
In place of this, you may simply include the type of support you may need such
as personnel, travel and communication, and equipment.
8.Be sure that
basic format details, such as page numbers, are incorporated.
9.Cite your
references.
