1. Abstract or Project Summary

2. The Problem or Needs Statement

This section should describe the problem or needs that the proposed grant project will address. This statement should be phrased in the broadest possible terms. Evidence to support the claim that the problem or needs are critical should be presented. Current efforts and research in the field can be included. Also, how does our program "fit" with the agency's goals?

3. The Objectives

This section should describe the specific ways that the proposed project will help to resolve the problem or meet the needs in the context of 蜜桃情人's role in the project and why we are uniquely suited to conduct the project. Describe the overall goals, short-term and long-term objectives, and expected milestones.

4. Activities or Methodology

This section should describe the methodology that will be used to meet the objectives of the project. A time line or other chart of activities showing the implementation sequence is frequently helpful in explaining how the problem will be solved. Describe activities, staffing, clients, and the role of the consultants; give background information on collaborative organizations. Describe the facilities and resources both on-hand and needed.

5. Management Plan

Develop a management plan that describes (1) its adequacy to achieve the objectives of the proposed project on time and within budget; (2) the extent to which program management is clearly defined (who will do what, when, and where); (3) the extent to which the plan maximizes the effectiveness of the project; and (4) the extent to which existing staff and in-kind services support the initiative.

6. Evaluation

It is very important to explain how the project will meet its stated objectives. Methods of evaluation vary according to the discipline and prospective format, but the evaluation procedures can aid in clarifying objectives and defining accountability. The evaluation has implications for grant renewal and future funding. Remember to evaluate the process and the project, and to make the evaluation feasible.

7. Sustainability

Show why the reader or sponsor is the best and most logical source of support and then illustrate your commitment to your project. If the project requires activity or funding beyond the proposed grant period, describe plans for continuing research or for obtaining additional funds. This section helps justify your budget request.

8. Budget

9. Appendices

This section can include letters of support, vitae of key personnel, bibliography, evaluation forms, certifications and assurances, or whatever helps to clarify any of the above components.
It is critical that all of these specified parts of the proposal are internally consistent - that is, that objectives flow from needs, activities from objectives, etc. While the above outline provides a useful guide to organizing your thoughts, the key to preparing a successful proposal narrative is adherence to the guidelines of the funding agency. The more you know about the funding source, the easier it will be for you to shape your ideas in a way that will appeal to them.
