Barrot and Sipacio (2016) presented the following guidelines to come up with a well-written concept
paper.
1. Cost and methodology should be reasonable.
2. The budget, methodology, and timeline should be clearly aligned.
3. Use statistics and figures when discussing the rationale for the project.
4. Use no more than five pages (single-spaced) excluding the cover page. Do not overwhelm the
readers with details.
5. Never request funding for planning the proposal.
6. Adjust your language to the intended readers. Refrain from using jargon when your target readers
are lay persons.

this, you may simply include the type of support you may need such as personnel, travel and
communication, and equipment.
