    Presenters should convince evaluators that their study is worth funding and that they are capable of carrying it out by providing a clear overview of the project scope and methodology, demonstrating potential results and controls, and offering alternative solutions. Effective presentations require rehearsal as a team to ensure all sections are coherently developed and speakers stay within the 10 minute time limit. Slides should have a consistent design with readable text and figures that express the main point of each slide.

    Guidelines for Students to Prepare Proposal Presentation

    A proposal presentation has a distinct audience and purpose and it persuades evaluators to
    support your study

    Before the presentation


    Assume that your audience comprises experts in your topic and intelligent generalists with
    exposure to your field

    Your proposal should be compelling: convince audience that study is worth doing and that you
    are capable of carrying it out

    Help your audience appreciate the merits of your approach


    Provide a clear overview of the scope of your plan
    be realistic, not over-ambitious
    Propose pertinent experiments with good controls
    Explain your methods succinctly
    Demonstrate the kind of data you might see
    show how they will illuminate your central question
    Offer alternative solutions/backup plan brief project overview
    sufficient background information for everyone to understand your proposal
    statement of the research problem and goals
    project details and methods
    predicted outcomes if everything goes according to plan and if nothing does
    needed resources to complete the work
    societal impact if all goes well

    During the presentation


    General principles in dividing up the presentation:
    Each partner should speak roughly the same amount of time
    Many options for dividing the presentation
    depends on the shape of your presentation.
    Content:
    Brief introduction of the study
    Objectives of the study

    Scope of the study
    Methodology of the study

    Preparation for Proposal Presentation


    Revision is an essential part of the collaborative process
    Be prepared: collaborative presentations require more revision than individual ones
    Invest yourself in the success of the presentation as a whole
    dont get too emotionally attached to your own contributions
    Rehearse before AND after you revise

    Help focus the audiences attention on the right speaker


    During overview, identify who will speak on what topic
    Review/Preview as you proceed through the talk
    Articulate transitions explicitly
    Only one partner onstage at a time
    If youre not speaking, dont hover nearby
    Do not interrupt each other

    Rehearse as a team
    Familiarize yourself with partners material
    Note timing of each section and of talk as a whole
    Aim for similar speaking styles
    Practice moving into speaking position at transition points
    Practice Q&A

    Questions to ask yourselves about organization


    Does our presentation fit together as a coherent whole?
    Are all sections of the talk adequately developed?
    Is it clear what is going to be done and how?
    Have we realistically articulated the scope of the work?
    What might make this proposal more convincing?

    Questions to ask yourselves about slide design
    Is everything on the slide readable?
    Are our slides a good balance of text and figures?
    Have we chosen clear, specific titles that express the main point of each slide?
    Is the design/format of our slides consistent?

    Questions to ask yourselves about delivery


    Can we get through our whole presentation in 10 minutes?
    Do we know where to position ourselves, and how to coordinate our shifts smoothly?
    Are we making the transitions between topics and speakers clear to the audience?
