Building Suspense in Grant Proposals

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are applying for a grant to develop an innovative drone technology aimed at disaster relief. Write a two-page proposal that builds tension by presenting a scenario where your drone could be critical in saving lives. Begin with a gripping introduction that sets the scene of a natural disaster (e.g., earthquake, flood) and articulate the urgent need for your drone technology. As you develop your proposal, outline the innovative features of your drone, while interspersing narrative elements that highlight the stakes involved if the funding is not granted. Conclude with a powerful call to action that leaves the reader feeling compelled to support your project.
