Applications must: -Describe the research and development methodology and techniques, the size of the representative sample of projects and users, and the scope of the expected outcome. -Demonstrate the skills, educational background, and experience appropriate to the project, or name others, including consultants, they wish to engage. -Include a plan of work as a time-line and a detailed description of each of the proposed steps, with cost and time estimates. -Document their processes, including changes in variables. Proposed projects should have outside expert advisors and must submit the results of their work to these advisors for evaluation and comment.
