The Proposal: An Invitation to Work Together

2 Nephi 28:30- Line upon line, precept upon precept; hearkening unto His precepts, and lending an ear unto His counsel leads to wisdom.

• As I go through my thesis project, I will approach new ideas. If I will lend an ear unto the Lord's counsel and pray about it, I believe I can learn wisdom through this project, and learn more.

Project Proposal Example

• Look carefully for requirements. No matter how hard you work on it, if it doesn't have the requirements, it's not going to help.
• Watch for "must," "should," "could," and "might." Highlight them.
• Find out requirements for the University before going through the Proposal.
• I think it's neat how the Proposal is presented. Even before they go through the requirements, they state what the main purpose and goal of the foundation is, saying, "If you are interested in what we're interested in, let's work together." This is why it is so important to know what you're passionate about; what your interest is before you look into proposals.
• The bullets in the outline of your proposal can come exactly from your highlighted passages of the Request For Proposals (RFP), even to the extent that if there is a citation in the Proposal, that citation should show up in your proposal as well.
• When you make a phone call to the person who is directing the RFP, he or she will only be able to tell you whether or not the project is within the scope of what the sponsor is looking for.
