Create a profile in the foundation database [ResearchFunding.Net.: ](ResearchFunding.Net.: www.researchfunding.net/)[www.researchfunding.net/](ResearchFunding.Net.: www.researchfunding.net/)  \n[2](2). Search for relevant foundations using the database’s search functions.  \n3. For each foundation you are interested in, check whether you are eligible to submit a proposal, and whether the foundation grants money to the kinds of costs involved in your project.  \n4. Find out what the requirements are for the structure of your proposal as well as any other requirements and guidelines that apply for the foundation in question.  \nABOUT RESEARCHFUNDING. NET  \n• Contains ~800 different Danish and international foundations within all fields of research.  \n• Contains information about foundations’/funders’ focus areas, objectives, deadlines, application procedures, etc.  \n• Gives you the option of subscribing to news updates about foundations that are relevant to your area of interest  \n• Gives you the option of receiving a reminder when the deadline for a particular foundation is coming up (60 days before the deadline) .  \nPhoto: Jesper Rais.  \n4  \nADVICE AND TOOLS FORYOUR GRANT PROPOSAL  \nTHE PROPOSAL-AN OVERVIEW  \nTHE PROPOSAL-AN OVERVIEW  \nA proposal is typically comprised of the following elements/documents:  \n• Application form or cover letter  \n• Proposal summary  \n• Proposal description  \n• Lay summary  \n• CV  \n• List of publications  \n• Budget  \n• Any offers on equipment  \n• Any statements/declarations of support  \nThe guidelines for the structure and contents of a proposal vary from foundation to foundation. For this reason, you should always check precisely which documents should be included in the proposal you submit to a particular fund  \nCOVER LETTER TEMPLATE  \nIf you are not required to include an application form, you can include a cover letter instead. A cover letter should not exceed one page in length. A detailed description of the project should be included in the project description instead.  \nSee an example on how to write your cover letter at [www.au.dk/fse under](www.au.dk/fse under) ”Advice and tools for your grant proposal”  \nPhoto: Lise Balsby  \nCOVER LETTER TEMPLATE  \nSee an example on how to write your cover letter at [www.au.dk/fse](www.au.dk/fse under)[ under](www.au.dk/fse under) ”Advice and tools for your grant proposal” (section “The proposal – an overview) .  \nADVICE AND TOOLS FOR THE PROPOSAL SUMMARY  \nYOUR GRANT PROPOSAL  \n5  \nTHE PROPOSAL SUMMARY  \nThe project summary is a concise summary of the most important points in the project description and should be able to function as an extremely brief independent presentation of the project.  \nPOLISH YOUR SUMMARY – SELL YOUR PRODUCT  \nIn terms of content, the project summary is similar to the lay summary. The major difference is that the target audience of the project summary is not a lay audience. Using scientific/technical terminology is therefore acceptable in the project summary.
