As a result of the Vocational Education Act of 1963 and the Amendments of 1968, occupational educators are faced with the task of developing project proposals. Many considerations when writing a proposal are pointed out in this document. It is noted that a proposal is not likely to be accepted unless it indicates that the applicant agency is capable of carrying out the project. Major steps in planning a project include identifying and designing the problem, planning for evaluation, and planning administrative details. A discussion is presented regarding each of the necessary parts of the proposal. These include a statement of the problem, a review of the literature, rationale, objectives, procedure, resources, budget, plans for dissemination, application form, abstract, and summary. This would be a useful document for persons developing project proposals in occupational education as well as in other fields. (GEB)
