Requirements are that it be conceived and written by the student, can achieve meaningful results within one academic year (fall and spring semesters), explains the "what," "how," and "and why," and is one single-spaced page typed in 10+ point font. It can include diagrams, graphs, charts or images, but does not have to. It can also include references formatted according to the disciplinary mode of citation.   

Otherwise, there is no set format for a Wentz Research Proposal.

 

Note: PROPOSALS MUST NOT INCLUDE PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, such as the student's, mentor's, graduate assistant's, research team's or lab's name, to ensure the integrity of the blind review process.
