If you're new to proposal writing, you need to learn how to write the Abstract section for your Business Proposal. The purpose of the Abstract is to summarize what you propose to do and give a clear understanding of the project's significance and your potential contribution to the solution in question. This helps you distill the essence of the bid into a summary that the reviewers can use to assess your application.
Three Guidelines for Writing Abstracts
- Clearly define the outputs (deliverables) that can be expected from the implementation of your solution. This is to help the proposal reviewers who will summarize your Business Proposals for their review panel.
- If you write a quality abstract, which clearly outline how you intend to resolve the key issues as identified in the Request For Proposal. This makes your reviewer's job easier as they can see at a glance what you propose to do and will possibly cut and paste your abstract into their reports.
- If the abstract is poorly written, with the core objectives buried deep in the document, then you make the reviewer's job more difficult, which in turn may reduce your chances of winning the bid and receiving funding.
- Don't write the abstract until you have completed the entire proposal.
- The abstract should be between 250 and 500 words.
- Write at least one sentence for each problem, objectives, and methods
- Use subheadings to divide the paper into logical groupings.
