The Description provides a narrative summary and overview of the proposed project. Tell the story of your project here. Innovative and creative approaches are encouraged.

The Statement of Need explains why your school and this project should receive this award over other highly qualified requests for funding. Tell your school story in a way that helps the committee understand your unique needs. Support your need with data (e.g. poor state assessment results) that are specific to the classroom, school, or district–wide need that is being addressed.

The Research Base provides justification for the proposed project. Cite research that documents the outcomes of similar projects or otherwise justifies proposed practices or strategies. For example, if an instructional project is being proposed, there should be evidence cited that the instructional approach has worked in a similar setting.
