Writing a Project Description

  • Describe the research in a way that is comprehensible to a general audience. Avoid the use of technical terms, jargon or acronyms without explanations.
  • Explain the role of the student, the skills and knowledge to be developed, and the qualifications (or lack of) required.
  • Projects need not be contained within an academic term. Many projects are "works in progress" as part of a larger research effort.
  • Avoid references to specific programs (e.g. Presidential Scholars, URAD).
