Abstract
Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the research proposal, a document written to request financial support for an ongoing or newly conceived research project. Like the journal article, the proposal is one of the most important and most utilized writing genres in chemistry. Chemists employed in a wide range of disciplines, including teaching, research and technology, the health professions, and industry, all face the challenge of writing proposals to support and sustain their scholarly activities. The chapter looks at excerpts from successful proposals submitted to two separate funding programs: (1) the 2019 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) and (2) the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program. It then differentiates between Requests for Proposals (RFP) for NSF GRFP and NSF CAREER proposals. The chapter also considers the significance of intellectual merit and broader impacts.
