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!

Many thanks Dr. Ali Kadhum M. Al-Qurabat for this links and also appreciate the valuable contribution of Dr. Abiodun Olusola Omotayo to this discussion.
Thanks for the excellent comments already presented by respected colleagues. In addition, the writer should sound convincing in his/her grant proposal writeup to be able to turn the hearts of the grant committee members.
In addition to what my colleagues have said, I would add that the proposal should explain the process whereby the project will generate its results (thus showing its feasibility) and how the project's results will be directly applicable to science or industry (thus showing its relevance).
In academic areas for the carrying out the activities of education with the methods ,facility , for students to maintain library & such other activities of academic performance , certain economical assistance is required to carry out the activities in a professional norms.
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.
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.
