Suggestions for Developing an Abstract
Those who evaluate your proposal will likely be unfamiliar with your discipline. Although it is not required that you include all the items listed here, a strong research abstract often responds to these topics:
- Introduction
- Research significance -- This usually answers the question: Why did you or why do you want to do this research?
- Methodology
- Results -- If your research is not at the phase of producing results, you can omit this section.
- Conclusion
