1. Identify your subject area:
Ex. Evaluating the use of process water as a marker to
determine the contamination status of fresh-cut leafy greens
contaminated with E. coli O157:H7
2. Three articles related to this topic of investigation. (Any
citation style is okay but must be consistent)
Example: S. Van Haute, F. López-Gálvez, V.M. Gómez-López,
Markus Eriksson, F. Devlieghere, Ana Allende, I. Sampers.

cut leafy vegetables wash water applied on peracetic acid
combined with lactic acid, International Journal of Food
Microbiology, Volume 208, 2015, Pages 102-11
3. After reading your three articles come up with a methodology
that will be suitable for your chosen topic. Create a flow
diagram or figure to show your methodology. Add the figure

objectives, this section should have 3 sections with a summary
section tying the objectives together. Give details such as
experimental factors, factor or treatment levels/descriptions,
number of locations and where, soil series for field experiment
site(s), design of experiment, etc.)
PROJECTED IMPACT OF RESULTS
PI should estimate the monetary or acreage impact upon
successful completion of this research. Proposal must provide

EXPECTED END PRODUCT(S)
End Products will be required at the project’s conclusion. List
expected or planned end products such as a PowerPoint
presentation, experiment station bulletin, journal publication,
