Excellent opening paragraph stating why is the research important and leading to the research goals
Clear and concise presentation of research aims \(questions\)
Research plan is well \ detailed starting from third paragraph.
Pronoun problem: who is the "w\ e"? Earlier, "I" is very clear, but this "we" lacks a clear antecedent.
Writing tip: good use of "signa\ l" words \("first," "second"\) to organize information and highlight key points.

TITLE: The Mitochondrial Stress Response and the Communication of Stress Responses Between Subcellular Compart\ ments
Compelling presentation of preparation from courses and prior lab experience.
Very detailed presentation of techni\ ques learned that are relevant to the project
Writing tip: "data" is a p\ lural word. Say, "The data suggest. . . " and "they [meaning the data] indicate."
Overall comments:
Good quality proposal overall. The author clearly explains the aims a\ nd methods to carry out those aims.
Research question: Analysis of mitochondria's unfolding protein response and its crosstalk with other folding envir\ onments in the cell.
Compelling presentation of prior experience in courses and labs. Could include specific techniques learned.
Good use of citations and references
Suggestions:
Should add headings to make it more readable and add some structure.

Build a Corporate Culture That Works
There’s a widespread understanding that managing corporate culture is key to business success. Yet few companies articulate their culture in such a way that the words become an organizational reality that molds employee behavior as intended.
All too often a culture is described as a set of anodyne norms, principles, or values, which do not offer decision-makers guidance on how to make difficult choices when faced with conflicting but equally defensible courses of action.
The trick to making a desired culture come alive is to debate and articulate it using dilemmas. If you identify the tough dilemmas your employees routinely face and clearly state how they should be resolved—“In this company, when we come across this dilemma, we turn left”—then your desired culture will take root and influence the behavior of the team.
To develop a culture that works, follow six rules: Ground your culture in the dilemmas you are likely to confront, dilemma-test your values, communicate your values in colorful terms, hire people who fit, let culture drive strategy, and know when to pull back from a value statement.
Start by thinking about the dilemmas your people will face.

At the beginning of my career, I worked for the health-care-software specialist HBOC. One day, a woman from human resources came into the cafeteria with a roll of tape and began sticking posters on the walls. They proclaimed in royal blue the company’s values: “Transparency, Respect, Integrity, Honesty.” The next day we received wallet-sized plastic cards with the same words and were asked to memorize them so that we could incorporate them into our actions. The following year, when management was indicted on 17 counts of conspiracy and fraud, we learned what the company’s values really were.

The brassica rapa is a plant species that belongs to the genus Brassica and is one of the 51 genera in the tribe brassicae of the crucifer family (also known as the mustard family) (Rakow, 2004, pg.1). Within this family, there are the other 37 different members that provide edible seeds, flowers, stems, buds, and leaves (Rakow, 2004, pg.1).
The α-amino group of puromycin will be substituted with a hydroxyl for efficient phosphoramidite coupling. The α-hydroxyl will be protected with Fmoc, and the 2'-position protected with acetate. The derivative will be coupled to solid support via a succinyl moiety at the 5'-position. Following Fmoc deprotection, CCA will be added to the α ...

your proposal, and the proposal writing should help you understand your own research. There should be synergy between your research efforts and this proposal'; this should not be a situation where one effort detracts from the other. Steps to take in preparation for writing your proposal 1. Discuss your research project with your mentor.
Abstract. In this module, we focus on writing a research proposal, a document written to request financial support for an ongoing or newly conceived research project. Like the journal article (module 1), the proposal is one of the most important and most utilized writing genres in chemistry. Chemists employed in a wide range of disciplines ...

Research proposals. Your research proposal is a key part of your application. It tells us about the question you want to answer through your research. It is a chance for you to show your knowledge of the subject area and tell us about the methods you want to use. We use your research proposal to match you with a supervisor or team of supervisors.
The project proposal is considered as a theoretical and conceptual preparation for your master's thesis and thus deals with the same scientific subject. It does not involve practical work. Please allow a time of 4 weeks for the preparation of your report. During this time you should not start working on your master thesis in the lab.
or the following summer. Students are strongly encouraged to have conducted preliminary research in their general area of interest prior to preparing an honors proposal. Guidelines for the development of a proposal are outlined below. Proposals must be submitted to the honors committee for review by August 1 prior to the senior year.
Introduction. The cycles of the major elements on earth, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, etc. are controlled by interaction between the biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. The pathways or mechanisms that drive these processes, while ultimately thermodynamically favored, are often carried out and exploited by the microbiota.
Proposal Summary. The proposal summary contains a description of the proposed activity suitable for publication. It should NOT be an abstract of the proposal, but rather a self-contained description of the activity that would result from the research. The summary should be written in the third person and include a statement of objectives ...

In fact, well-proposed biochemistry research ideas attract lots of funding, and you might be lucky to have a breakthrough in your early career. Most of the biochemistry topics for research ideas revolve around: Structure and functioning of various body cells. Biochemical reactions in humans and plants. Heredity in living organisms.
