The Goals and Outcomes of your proposal are your chance to set the vision for your research. It is important at the beginning of your research to make clear to the reader where you want to be at the end. The proposal is a plan for getting to that place, and everything after the Outcomes is about explaining where you start and what path you will take.

It is important at the beginning of your research to make clear to the reader where you want to be at the end. The proposal is a plan for getting to that place, and everything after the Outcomes is about explaining where you start and what path you will take.
An outcome is a thing aimed at or sought; it's a goal. That idea, however, creates confusion since a research goal is the broad purpose, and outcomes are specific statements about what you want to be able to achieve. For our purposes, we will distinguish between the research goal and the research outcomes, but both will be contained in the Goals and Outcomes section of the proposal.

It can be challenging or even unwise to stuff a big vision into just one sentence, but you don't want to have it take up a page or even half of one. Keep the research goal one to three sentences in length. If you have to go longer than that, you probably don't have a goal that is clear enough to you, which means it will not be clear to the reader, or you are trying to over define your goal, in which case some of what you are saying might be part of the outcomes or impact.

While your goal begins your vision of what you want to achieve in your research, it may not be tangible or concrete. Reviewers will want and need to see a more clear picture of where your research will go. It would seem, since the point of the proposal is to explain what you want to do in your research, that next you should lay out what you would do in your research. The trouble is that, while the reviewer does care what you will do, they care more where you will end up.  Think of them as the one with the money --- they sometimes are, but often are not --- and they want to know what it is they get for their investment. What are they buying? What is the product of your effort?

The answer to these questions are the research outcomes. While your goal begins your vision of what you want to achieve in your research, it may not be tangible or concrete.

## Research Outcomes ## Research Outcomes
The research outcomes are brief, clear, concise statements of what you should be able to do if the research is successful. These are like mini-goals, but they are more specific. They are not necessarily steps along the way to a larger goal; rather, they are the sign posts that, if achieved, together would meet the overarching goal. The outcomes provide clarity and definition of your goal, and make clear what the specific things you want to be able to do if successful. This vision is something that you will return to throughout the proposal as you make connections between your efforts and how they will help you achieve your outcomes. Since you will be making these connections, the reader should be able to keep your vision in mind as they read, and you need to facilitate this by making each outcome sticky. Do this by making them simple, concrete, and credible. You do not need all of the traits, but do as many as you can.
