The eGC1 abstract should express the purpose and essence of the proposed activity in language understandable to nonspecialists. These abstracts are relied upon heavily by those charged with explaining the University's research programs to the public and the state government, including the Board of Regents and the Office of News and Information. For this reason, the abstract entered on the eGC1 should be less technical than the abstract on the application submitted to the sponsor and is limited to 250 words in length. The importance of preparing it carefully cannot be overemphasized.
This table lists all the fields on the Abstract and RFA/RFP screen of the eGC1.
