Background
I am a first-year PhD student in Chemical Engineering. My guide has asked me to apply for PMRF in the upcoming cycle.
I need to write the research proposal component (2 pages). My research is on biodegradable polymer membranes for water purification.
Questions:
- What level of detail is expected in the technical approach section?
- Should I include preliminary results even if they are from coursework projects?
- How important is the societal impact section?
- Is it okay to cite work from my own MTech thesis?
Any feedback from people who have successfully received PMRF would be invaluable.
