NUR 703 Assignment 8.1: Mini-Grant Project Presentation

Value: 50 points

Introduction

Although there is variation among proposal formats, these are the sections that are commonly found in federal grant applications. Many agencies have specific requirements for length of proposals, either page number or word count limits. For this Mini-Grant Project (Links to an external site.), the page limitations are noted with each section. It is very important for your writing to be clear, succinct, and comprehensive.
