Ford Fellowship Proposed Plan of Research Essay

[ssteph]

Is anyone applying that can provide some guidance on what the Ford Fellowship app wants for   Proposed Plan of Graduate Study and Research?

I followed what the description said. I identified a school I wanted to attend as a PhD student, and from there I basically pled my case by describing my primary research question, and how the faculty and coursework at the school would best help me explore it.

Hi there. I'd be very grateful for more insight into this too (especially from people who have applied in previous seasons). I am also working away on my application, and I'm having a lot of trouble fitting everything into the little space allowed. It would be great to know how much detail you have put into the primary research question and how much complexity you have put into it.

Yea, I simply followed the instructions as given on the website. Could we make this the go to thread for the predoc fellowship?
