Prospectus Often when applying for funds, the awarding entity will request a request prospectus. What is that? A "prospectus" is an incisive and revealing analytic summary of your proposed research project. It is brief, 3-5 pages, sometimes less. The prospectus first states the question that your project will attempt to answer or explore then shows why it is an important or worthy question in the context of current knowledge and your own intellectual purposes. Then it describes what you will do to answer or explore that question, explaining how and why each step fits into your analytic research design. The prospectus concludes with a preview of your thesis or argument, and a tentative outline of the paper that will result.
