8 Steps
- Are my Aims related, but able to stand alone if necessary?
- Did I design my aims with my future publications in mind?
- Do my Aims sound like methods?
- Are my aims worded identically throughout my submission package?
- Do I state my hypotheses? Is the work hypothesis-driven? Is the hypothesis tested by the proposed aims?
- Have I discussed my preliminary data, and stated if they support my hypotheses?
- Do I briefly describe key aspects of my methods?
- Are there expected outcomes or deliverables associated with each Aim?
