A project proposal is a document designed to present a plan of action for a project and convince the reader to approve and fund the project. It typically includes an introduction, background, strategy, budget, and expected outcomes. The introduction states what the project is and why it is important. The background provides historical context and justification. The strategy outlines goals and procedures. The budget details financial sources and costs. Expected outcomes define what will be achieved upon completion. Effective proposals also include sections on the problem definition, objectives, methodology, timeline, and qualifications of the investigative team. The proposal format may vary between organizations but should provide a clear overview of the project.
