How to Write a Proposal for an Outreach Grant

In writing grant proposals, scientists are familiar with a format that includes the project's significance with respect to existing knowledge, its objectives, perhaps some preliminary data, and a research-design and methods section. A proposal for an outreach project is similar but uses different terminology for the sections. It includes five basic components: a description of the problem you want to deal with, what you hope to achieve by tackling the problem, how you will approach the problem, who will be in charge of which activities, and how you will measure your success.[author]
