Like an Assistantship proposal, this section follows the introduction provided in the “context and objections” portion and serves to explain what you will do to achieve the project goals.
200 word maximum: Explain the method(s)/strategy used in this project, including justification for your approach. Also justify international travel, if your project requires it.
50 word maximum: Note any experience, training and/or coursework required to complete this project, and explain how you have prepared.
100 words maximum: Comment on your mentee's ability to perform this project, highlighting relevant coursework, experience with methods and/or materials, and other relevant certifications and qualifications.
Unlike an Assistantship proposal, Individual Grants have two prompts for the “methodology and strategy” section. You have more space to explain, but still avoid overly detailed and technical descriptions of methods. Be sure to explain how you have the training and skills needed for the project or how you will learn them. You might still have limited experience when applying for an Individual Grant, but reviewers need to see how you will gain the skills needed.
CU Boulder has an expansive history engaging undergraduates in the research and creative life of the campus dating to the creation of UROP in 1986.
