# Quad Charts
|
|
|
|
Quad charts are the briefest of research proposals, and are
|
|
a way of conveying a research idea in just one
|
|
slide.
|
|
|
|
The audience for a quad chart is usually non-technical. The
|
|
content should reflect this.
|
|
|
|
Quad charts consist of quadrants:
|
|
|
|
## Quadrant 1 (Upper Left): Goals and Objectives
|
|
|
|
This quadrant states the goal of the research in a single
|
|
sentence, and lists the outcomes underneath it. Often you
|
|
can start with "The goal of this research is to..."
|
|
|
|
Then, the outcomes follow: "If this research is
|
|
successful, we should be able to do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. ...
|
|
2. ...
|
|
3. ...
|
|
(4.?)
|
|
|
|
It is critical that no jargon is used here. It is very
|
|
tempting to do so.
|
|
|
|
## Quadrant 2 (Bottom Left): Research Approach
|
|
|
|
This quadrant answers the question: "What's new in your
|
|
approach?"
|
|
|
|
## Quadrant 3 (Top Right): Pretty Picture
|
|
|
|
This is a break for the reader, and likely the first thing
|
|
they'll actually look at on the chart. This figure should
|
|
illustrate a key idea about the work that you want the
|
|
reader to take away.
|
|
|
|
No personal information should be included.
|
|
|
|
## Quadrant 4 (Bottom Right): Impact and Contact Info
|
|
|
|
This quadrant answers the question of "Who cares? What
|
|
difference will it make if you're successful?"
|
|
|
|
This quadrant should also contain contact info of the
|
|
principal investigator, and if applicable, their advisor.
