On the side you can see the researches they propose; my top choices are
Research Field 1: Regenerative science, specifically Immunology, wound healing, diabetes
Please write about the first research field- Immunology, Wound Healing, Diabetes since those are my interested research fields. So the set up involves regenerative science as a whole but then you would specifically talk about the Immunology research, Wound healing research and diabetes research.
The set up:
So if you could specifically talk about the overviews involved, activities involved, and why the research is important. Demonstrate why this institution or staff is best equipped to carry out this activity. You can basically follow this format: Statement of Need: The “why” of the project. (1–2 paragraphs)
- Explain what issue you are addressing.
- Explain why you have chosen to respond to this set of issues in the way that you have.
- State briefly why this matters in the area in which you will be working.
- Note who benefits. Make sure you can indicate the public good achieved.
3. Project Activity: The “what” and “how” of the project. (The bulk of your letter)
- Give an overview of the activities involved. Give details to the degree that space allows.
- Highlight why your approach is novel and deserving of the special attention that funding connotes.
- Indicate if there will be collaboration with other organizations and what their roles will be. Be specific about who does what.
4. Outcomes (1–2 paragraphs; before or after the Project Activity)
- State the specific outcomes you hope to achieve.
- Indicate how evaluation is part of the project. How will you know you’ve achieved these outcomes?
5. Credentials (1–2 paragraphs)
- Demonstrate why your institution or your staff is best equipped to carry out this activity.
- Put any historic background about the institution here.
- Brag with substance. Indicate awards, rankings, and tangible measures that set you apart from your peers.
And add an introduction and closing statement.
This should be about 1-3 pages.
