    Purposes
    W H A T I S A C O N C E P T PAPER?
    Concept papers are summaries of projects or issues that reflect the
    interests, experience and expertise of the writer or organization.
    Concept papers generally serve the purpose of providing in-depth
    discussion of a topic that the writer has a strong position on, usually
    with the intent of obtaining funding for that project from donors.
    W H A T I S A C O N C E P T PAPER?
     A concept paper enables in putting thoughts and ideas
    into paper for consideration for research.
     It is from the concept paper that one develops the
    research proposal which can either be business or
    academic oriented. Most students usually go directly to
    the research proposal. As good as concept paper and
    research proposal may seem similar,they are different
    in the process and presentation.
    Parts of a Concept Paper
    Barrot and Sipacio (2016) claims that concept paper usually ranges
    from 500 to 2,000 words and is usually divided into several parts.
    However, they emphasized that the format and design required by the
    funding agency needs to be followed. The parts of a concept paper

    Guidelines in Writing a Concept Paper

    1. Cost and methodology should be reasonable.

    2. The budget, methodology, and


    timeline should be clearly aligned.

    3.Use statistics and figures when


    discussing the rationale for the
    project.

    4. Use no more than five pages (single-spaced) excluding the


    coverpage. Do not overwhelm the readers with details.
    5. Never request funding forplanning the proposal.
    6. Adjust your language to the intended readers. You may use
    technical terms if readers are scholars and scientists.
    However, refrain from using jargon when your target
    readers are laypersons.
    7. Include the overview of the budget if it is required. If not, then skip
    the budget section. In place of this, you
    may simply include the type of support you may need
    such as personnel, travel and communication, and equipment.
    8. Be sure that basic format details, such as page numbers,are
    incorporated.
    9. Cite your references.
    Write E if the statement shows an effective way of writing a concept paper and N if
    not (adopted from Barrot & Sipacio, 2016).

    1. Rino fails to indicate the page numbers in his concept paper.


    2. Andrew included a literature review for the concept paper he made.
    3. Geryl includes in the references all journals she used but excludes the books she cited.
    4. Thea made her timeline independent from the details in the methodology.
    5. Yana requested a budget from the funding agency for the preparation of the concept paper.
    6. Sharee states her objectives in the methodology section.
    7. Maxine sticks to one format every time she submits a concept paper to various funding agencies.
    8.Ellie uses data from government agencies to prove the existence of a problem that she and
    her team would like to address.
    9.Irish clarified the working definition of the concept she is preparing to ensure that the
    reader understood it properly.
    10.When Theresa knew that her target readers are laypersons, she defined the technical terms that
    she used in the concept paper.
