The first move of the Experimental Approach section is to share prior accomplishments. The term prior accomplishments refers to completed works (e.g., published articles or otherwise disseminated results) and other accomplishments (e.g., awards, collaborations) that are related to the proposed work. (Unrelated accomplishments may be listed in a separate biographical statement but should not be mentioned in the proposal.) The purpose of move 1 is to establish expertise and convince reviewers that you have the necessary skills to complete the proposed work. Move 1 usually begins at or near the start of the Experimental Approach section. The length of move 1 varies with each proposal. Typically, the section is longer for experienced researchers (i.e., those with prior grant support) because they have more accomplishments to share. Move 1 is often demarked with a level 2 heading. Common level 2 headings for move 1 are shown in table 13.2.
