What is the difference between the abstract and the summary of my project?
A. The abstract of a project is a short, 300 word overview of the background, importance and proposed methods of your project. It will be posted on our web site. The summary of your project is the 10-page outline of the background, literature review, theory base, etc that is primarily the source of our award-decision. It is referred to as a summary, because it is recognized that in at least some instances, this application to NRIG may be an abbreviated version of the original protocol.
