Module 5: Writing Project Reports and Requests

Introduction

One of the most sought-after technical writing skills today is the ability to write successful requests for projects or funding. Successful “grant-writing” in the non-profit world many times makes the difference between survival and failure of a business. Likewise, in the for-profit world, a well-constructed bid for a project can carry the business through months or years of productive activity and financial stability. Technical writing in response to “RFPs” (Requests for Proposals) requires skills in analysis and synthesis, the ability to understand the “big picture” by identifying its parts and subsequently the ability to craft a proposal for a project that will satisfy the terms of the request and enhance the spirit of the initiative. Often this process also includes presentation of the project to a panel who evaluate the proposals and determine the level of support or funding. In this final module, you will write a request for a proposal and defend your proposal in a class presentation.
