BRAIN BUILDER
Research and development – R&D – is the process by which a company works to
obtain new knowledge that it might use to create new technology, products, services,
or systems that it will either use or sell. The goal most often is to add to the company’s
bottom line. R&D may result in ownership of intellectual property such as project
proposals scholarly written and conceptualized by educators and students.
A project proposal is the document that facilitates a professional relationship
between an organization and outside contributors. ... Creating a proposal allows an
organization to establish a formal, logical presentation to an outside worker or project
donor for the development of both external and internal stakeholders.
FUNDABLE PROPOSAL
A funding proposal is used to request funds by providing a compelling case for
the proposed project. The main difference is the focus on the goals and objectives of
the project, feeding into a set of measures for evaluation of project success.
The typical content of a funding proposal might look something like this:

Project Proposal
There are six types of proposal according to Mulholland (2017):
1. Formally solicited
A formally solicited project proposal is
made in response to an official request
for a proposal. In a way, this is the
easiest way to create a proposal for a
new project, since the Request For
Proposal (RFP) document will usually
tell you exactly what the customer or
audience wants and sometimes even
directions for preparing the proposal.
2. Informally solicited
Informally solicited project proposals are the same as formally solicited ones,
except the information they are based on isn’t set out in a specific document.
This makes them a little harder to deal with (more research is involved in
analyzing them) but you at least have a rough starting point.
3. Unsolicited
Unsolicited project proposals are the project equivalent of cold calls – nobody
asked to receive one, but (if you’ve done your homework) it can still provide a
ton of value. These are proposals which are thought of by the person submitting
them and can be inspired by anything, from a eureka moment in the employee’s
daily work to a casual conversation with a customer.
4. Continuation
Continuation project proposals are by far and away the easiest to write, since
these are essentially reminders/updates for ongoing (and already approved)
projects. These are almost not even proposals, in the sense that you’re not

asking for anything new or pitching your case. Instead, all you have to do is
remind the audience of the project they previously approved, report on its
progress, account for any changes and ask for permission to continue.
5. Renewal
Once an ongoing project has finished
or outlived its usefulness (and support
for it is going to be terminated), a
renewal project proposal can be
written to make the case for its
continued support. Much like
continuation proposals, these are less
about convincing the audience of the
project’s worth by itself and more
about showing why it’s valuable to
continue doing it. This usually means
weighing up the return benefits with
the resources it takes to upkeep the
practice.
6. Supplemental
A supplemental project proposal is required when you need to ask for extra
resources for a project (beyond those originally proposed). The main aim when
writing these proposals is to be able to justify the extra resources and produce
updated estimates of what the project will now take to complete.
