A concept paper is an informal document that summarizes a proposed research project to convince potential funders to support it. A concept paper is typically 2-5 pages and includes elements like the title, introduction, purpose and need for the research, project description and goals, proposed methods, timeline, expected outcomes, budget, and contact information. The introduction should demonstrate an understanding of the funder's mission and how the proposed research meets their goals. The purpose section provides evidence that supports the importance of the research. Taken together, a concept paper provides a high-level overview of a research proposal to obtain initial feedback or funding support.
