Bibliography and References Cited

Abstract

The “Bibliography and References Cited” section contains all of the citations from the scientific portions of the proposal. This documentation is an important aspect of the application. As mentioned earlier, your application should provide an overview of your research area to establish a context for your project. Additionally, you may refer to your own published research showing support for the rationale behind your proposed project, or your technical capability to perform techniques in the project. Referring to the appropriate publications in support of what you have written is essential. This ties your ideas to the state-of-the-art in the field, and allows the reviewers to fact-check or brush up on the field by going to the original sources.
