Double space the proposal and use a type that is at least 12 pitch. Label each section heading Abstract, Introduction, Research Plan, and Conclusion. You may use subheadings if you wish. References, figures and tables are not to be used in determining your length restrictions. Note that each figure and table must be numbered consecutively, and referred to explicitly in the text.
References are a separate section that appears right after the conclusion.
All references in your proposal will appear in this endnote section. There is no separate bibliography section. Do not quote directly from any of your scientific resources. Always rephrase another author's ideas in your own words . A first draft of your work will be required approximately 2-3 weeks before your paper is due.
