The page limit for the full application is 9 pages, and you only need to submit it when you are applying for the transition grant. After you pass the innovation screening, you will be requested to submit the full application. The content of the 9 pages of full application should match the initial 3 pages of concept note, but with more details and much extent. You should follow the instruction came with the request from the USAID.
As an example, a regular full application should include the following components: 1) Title of the project; 2) Summary or abstract; 3) Problem statement or justification or rationale; 4) Goal and objectives; 5) Activities; 6) Results; 7) Indicator, monitoring and evaluation; 8) References or bibliographies (item 8) not included in the page limit). Most of these components have been described in this guide, and it is recommended that based on your 3 pages of the concept note, you add in more details to each section and develop it to a full application.
With regarding the bibliographies, they are the evidences, technology and academic information you cite or refer to as supports in the whole content of your proposal or application. You should provide at least a few or more bibliographies to the content in the literature where the technology and information are described. Providing a list of bibliographies can simplify your content, as you will not need to describe in fine details if they are already described in the existing literature. The followings are some ideas about writing the bibliographies.
- Demonstrate the importance of your ideas in terms of principles, concepts and methods;
- Demonstrate the existing bodies of innovative technology and information;
- Identify the studies of direct relevance to your project.
- Use of those references shorter than 5-10 years to keep the innovation
The bibliographies have a fixed format as author, title, source, year, issue, etc. The examples are as follows:
