Note that most sections are no more than two pages. Wherever possible use outlines or lists, with either bullets or numbered items. Such listings can be quite brief, but items should be parallel in structure, subject matter and word usage. Be sure to include key details in your Statement of the Problem and Situation Analysis so that the reader understands all of the key issues and pertinent facts at the beginning of the proposal. You may include a clean copy of your Planning Matrix in the final project, but it is optional.
Internal consistency is important.
Each section of your proposal should flow logically from the previous sections. Be sure that your facts are consistent from section to section. Be sure to spell-check your final document. Check it for problems of grammar, punctuation and word usage. For questions about style, see online A Short Style Guide for Writers .
