Project Proposal

A proposal is an intentionally repetitive art form that proceeds in sections from greater generality to greater specificity as it elaborates an idea as a project. In each of its sections, you cover the same idea, purposes, and activities in progressively greater detail as you proceed from higher to lower levels of abstraction in your discussion of the following:
• Core project idea
• Relationship to previous work or work of others
• Methods (their appropriateness, reliability, and validity)
• Activities
• Outputs/outcomes (potential relevance of findings and/or activities)
• Budget/budget justification and timeline

As we proceed from section to section, we revisit in greater detail what we propose to do, why, how, with what effect, at what cost, and in what period of time.
