Methodology & Strategy

Like an Assistantship proposal, this section follows the introduction provided in the 鈥渃ontext and objections鈥 portion and serves to explain what you will do to achieve the project goals.

Student Prompts

200 word maximum: Explain the method(s)/strategy used in this project, including justification for your approach. Also justify international travel, if your project requires it.

50 word maximum: Note any experience, training and/or coursework required to complete this project, and explain how you have prepared.

Mentor Endorsement Prompt

100 words maximum: Comment on your mentee's ability to perform this project, highlighting relevant coursework, experience with methods and/or materials, and other relevant certifications and qualifications.

Section Advice

Unlike an Assistantship proposal, Individual Grants have two prompts for the 鈥渕ethodology and strategy鈥 section. 听You have more space to explain, but still avoid overly detailed and technical descriptions of methods. Be sure to explain how you have the training and skills needed for the project or how you will learn them. 听You might still have limited experience when applying for an Individual Grant, but reviewers need to see how you will gain the skills needed.
