Introduction
(about one page;
Brief literature review including citations of the
papers in the bibliography.
Hypothesis that was to be tested (or statement of
purpose if the goal was limited to developing technique or reagents).
Materials and
Methods (about one page)
This does not need to be as detailed as the protocols you included in
the proposal.
Results (about
one page)
If you got some quantitative results, don’t forget to include a measure
of variation (e.g. standard error) and of the statistical significance of any
differences. If you include micrographs,
ALWAYS include a scale bar to show the size of the object.
Discussion
(about one page)
Do NOT start this section with a literature review! Start it with a VERY brief summary of your
results, then discuss what they mean. If you did not get good results, discuss why
this was and how the project could be improved
