Title of Proposed Project
20.109(F12) Pre-Proposal: Engineering Biodiesel-Producing Bacteria to Optimize Oxidative Stability (and Shelf Life) of Biodiesel Fuel
Project Summary
THREE SENTENCES ONLY.
For example (from [1])
"Roughly 70% of the American population eats avocadoes at least once each year, so that potential exposure of the populace to contaminants in avocadoes is widespread. Little research has nonetheless been done with regard to the uptake of trace metals by avocadoes during their growth. The proposed research would address this problem by making the first detailed examination of the controls on concentrations of trace metals in avocadoes."
Biodiesel fuel is both a non-toxic and renewable resource, making it a promising alternative to standard diesel fuel and oil. Current
Introduction
ONE PARAGRAPH and at least TWO REFERENCES
- What is known about this field
- Why is this field important
Your idea
TWO PARAGRAPHS
Make clear what you see is the structural hole/gap in understanding or the need, and how you propose to fill in or satisfy what you've identified. You should specify your general approach (e.g. "will screen for mutants that enhance the contrast of the bacterial photography system") but do not need to think through the precise experimental details yet. Emphasize instead what results hope to collect and how they might improve the shortcomings that you've identified as interesting.
