Prepare Proposals

While all successful proposals clearly articulate an original idea that is in line with the interests of a sponsor, proposal similarities across domains and sponsors often stop there. The documents required and the format and content of those documents vary by sponsor and sometimes even by the types of proposal mechanisms offered by a single sponsor organization.
