Hi,
I am writing a proposal for +3 funding and I have put a timetable like this in it,
Timetable: The three years of the research will be structured as follows,
Year one: Literature review, demographic profiling, secure research participants.
Year two: Analysis of quantitative, conduction of semi-structured interviews, coding using Atlast.ti.
Year three: Complete data analysis, update literature review, write-up, disseminate findings.
I am now having to cut down the proposal to fit with my department's strict length limitations.
My supervisor has suggested ditching the timetable. However, I put a timetable on my 1+3 application last year (I had to pull this application so I have no idea if it would have been successful!) and the example of a successful +3 proposal that I have been given has a timetable on as well.
How important is the timetable to a proposal? Should I just ditch it? Or leave it in and cut down my word somewhere else?
Any advice is very much appreciated. Thanks
