Proposal Completion Tips

Creating a timeline and/or table is useful for completing sections of your proposal.

Use an outline to structure your proposal and budgetary needs.

Have a "cold review" from someone outside the preparation process.

Review your final proposal and budget so that it meets the standards within the agency's guidelines and is presented professionally.

Completing a successful proposal can take several weeks to several months.
