An abstract provides the reader with a brief overview of the project and is often the first (and at times the only) part of a proposal that a reviewer will read. 

The final proposal  will include a structured abstract that addresses the following areas:

• Background and Significance
• Project Goals and Objectives
• Methods (Description of the intervention or processes you will use to achieve the goals) and how you will measure effects of the intervention to determine project success, next steps, etc...)
• Potential Impact of the Project

Abstracts are typically short (half of a page to one page). Please check with your Faculty Project Advisor to determine preferences in abstract length and content.
