In the last period I wrote different research proposals
and so I summarize what I learned from this experience,
a successful research proposal should be:
1) sexy (this is the typical word used by my boss)
in one of my proposal I wrote that my proposed research
was the "... holy Graal of condensed matter physics...."
and I got the money for this one!
2) useful for the entire world
(photovoltaic, new electronic devices, bio something)
3) innovative: new codes, new methodologies, new techniques
will be developed (even if the old ones were enough)
4) easy to be understood,
maybe your referee knows less than you about
this project (this happens more often one can think!)
and so few formulas, and many citations to Nature and Science
