Project Proposal
A project proposal describes some sort of plan for a needed action such as marketing a product, streamlining a production process, developing a curriculum, or meeting a financial goal for a non-profit agency.
A project proposal may be used to obtain a federal grant or to convince a board of directors to fund a new initiative. Project proposals consist of several sections, perhaps including an executive summary, a description of the problem or goal, a history or background of existing conditions, a research review, and so on. The resources below describe components and processes of project proposals for a variety of purposes.
