As in a technical paper, the proposal abstract should "abstract" the project for the reader. It should be a brief (100 - 200 words), tightly worded summary of the project, its objectives, the problem's significance, the project's scope, the methods that will be employed, the identity and relevant technical expertise of the research team, and the results that are expected to result. Be sure to write this section last so that its content indeed abstracts your proposal.
