Repetition, repetition, repetition. It may sound a little crazy and a little condescending for your audience if you are being so repetitive, but it does work. Reviewers are often busy and have a large volume of proposals to read, and as we've discussed in class, some can be very short while others can be quite long and extensive. Regardless, you want to remind your reviewers of your purpose throughout so that they do not forget. This is why the beginning and conclusion are framed in the same fashion.
The transitions are so vital. You can assume that most reviewers are probably skimming your proposal so use some common transitional words that will alert them and guide them through the proposal. This comes full circle to the importance of repetition because after they are alerted of the transition the next section should continue to build or reiterate your purpose.
Looking to the future and providing your audience with reasons as to how your proposal will benefit them later is essential. It also again, reiterates the purpose of your proposal. You're not just trying to solve a singular issue or problem, but you're offering possible future solutions, or rather, relaying the benefits.
