Writing/presentation style:
Verify that the title, the abstract and the content of your proposal clearly correspond to each other!
Maintain a clear structure,
an intuitive navigational style throughout the document with headings and summaries, enabling the reader to quickly reference where they are for future commenting;
(Have a reader skim your document to verify)
Summarize significant issues and make no assumptions where possible.
Keep a reasonable, clear, declarative writing style (active verbs!) throughout the document;
Breakup the narrative with bulleted lists, visuals, etc. demonstrating a command of abstract concepts and relationships
Use white space to highlight and emphasize important sections
Make sure your proposal does not contain any grammatical/spelling mistakes or typos; engage a proofreader;
Request an experienced academic to proofread your proposal in order to ensure the proposal conforms to institutional and international academic standards.
