Writing Tips
Structure your narrative according to the following technical review criteria.
For the first section (Quality of Proposed Project), create brief subheadings for each of the six criteria. For the second section (Qualifications of Applicant), you can create subheadings where you think necessary or address all of the criteria in one section.
Writing Tips
Remember that you are writing for an educated audience who specializes in the particular geographic area in which you are proposing to do research. Remember that your audience may not be well acquainted with your field but they are well acquainted with your area. They want to fund projects that will contribute to their particular area studies.
Writing Tips
Pay attention to the points allotted to each criterion. This does not mean that equal space should be dedicated to equal sections, but you should pay equal attention to equal sections as you write the draft.
