Goals

A good proposal is very clear about what it intends to achieve. The Wabash Center looks to fund projects that specifically advance teaching and learning about theology and religion. The statement of goals should demonstrate the project's fit with Wabash Center’s mission, and exemplify the clarity and focus of the proposal. (See: Activities NOT funded by the Wabash Center)

The nuts-and-bolts of the Project - the who, what, where, when and how of the activity - are described in the Project Outline; the Goals Statement should list the desired outcomes of the project. List briefly what you hope to accomplish with this project.

The more succinctly and clearly you can articulate your goals, the easier it will be to evaluate later whether you have reached those goals and assess the impact of your project. The clearer the proposal is about the intended outcomes, the easier it is to identify strategies for assessing them.
