Dear Dr Tosin, I haven't actually written one before but i feel above all things that you need to do lots of extensive research on what to write, also be as concise as possible as there will be many applicants.Just speak straight to the point.Finally,try to show whatever you write to a more experienced colleague who will constructively castigate your proposal before the final submission. Best of luck sir!

Usually in a research project, there is an issue or a problem where we will find out the causative factor and also try to find a cure for the issue. It will be studied under targeted objectives, methodology that is preplanned, timeline within a stipulated time, feasibility of the project and financial requirements of the setup pilot study. These things will decide the fate of the project.

How to write an effective proposal for a research grant ?
https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_write_an_effective_proposal_for_a_research_grant
very, very briefly and generally:
think who you are writing for - what do they want (topic, background rationale, potential impact of research, value for money and expertise underpinning the work)
write clear balanced arguments and propose to take some research risks to acheive fantastic results (but ensure they are supported by good project planning)
show that you will disseminate your findings and have involved groups who might be interested in the study or those you think would benefit from your work
Many thanks to respected RG experts; Drs. Asit Kumar Batabyal, Adil Malik, Andrew Hursthouse and Bryan Higgins for their valuable contributions to this discussion. You're all appreciated.
Time management. Clearly tell them when (month-by-month) do you plan to achieve goals. For example: January: data collection, Feb-Mar: data processing, Apr-May: writing paper, etc. And methodology, of course. Describe your proposed methods.
Ability to clearly address research gap. As well as clearly spelling out the aim, objectives, methodology, significance etc.
