Project Goals

DOING THE RIGHT PROJECT CAN BE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN DOING A PROJECT RIGHT. 

It is important to remember that in the commercial world there are only two reasons to execute a capital construction project  

These are the only two reasons for executing a capital project.

The CCT program involves a number of projects that achieve reduction of SO, NO, and particulate emissions in a single processing unit. The technologies described arc uniquely combined to achieve project goals and, at the same time, to provide commercial-scale validation of technologies for utilities to consider in order to meet environmental standards. 

The success of this approach is illustrated by the multiple industry benchmarks it has established, but none more clearly than its use on a large multinational evaluation involving 1500 patients for a drug for Alzheimer disease. Measured against starting project goals, the system was central to the ability to complete the project 1.6 years ahead of the 5-year schedule and 32 million under budget [9]. 

Periodically — weekly, if possible — review progress and project future work. Junior analysts will usually tolerate periods of overload as long as the periods are anticipated, finite, and clearly related to defined project goals. Recognition of extra effort through thanks may be sufficient if the periods of overtime are brief. If sustained periods of overtime are required, compensatory leave or financial compensation are essential to maintain good will and limit turnover.

The Human Genome Project was launched in 1990. It is a US 3 billion project involving 350 laboratories around the world. In 2001, a draft copy of the sequence of the three billion base pairs was published. By April 2003,99% of the human genome had been sequenced. The project goals are as follows ... 

Table 5-2 summarizes the results. Single cells achieved an initial performance of 0.75 volts/cell at a current density of 400 ASF (431 mA/cm ), 8.2 atm and 207°C condition which was 300 WSF (0.323 W/cm ), well above the project goal. Several cells were operated to 600 ASF (645 mA/cm ), achieving up to 0.66 volts/cell. The flat plate component designs were verified in a subscale stack prior to fabricating the full size short stack. The pressurized short stack of 10 ft ... 

A team was assembled that included experts in resins, machinery design, process controls, and plant operations. The machinery manufacturer chosen was the one that had the most knowledge and manufacturing capabilities for this size of machine and process. Again, all team members were acutely aware of the project goals and timing. 

The Project Description is typically divided into three main sections (table 11.3). The first main section introduces project goals and importance (chapter 12). The second section describes the experimental approach (chapter 13). The third section summarizes project outcomes and impacts (chapter 14). Each main section (and corresponding chapter) is organized by moves. The major moves are listed in table 11.3, along with headings that authors commonly use in their proposals to signal these moves. (Note For instructional purposes, we have reformatted the headings in proposal excerpts included in this module to conform to style 1, as depicted in table 11.3.)... 

This chapter focuses on writing the first section of the Project Description. The central purposes of this section are to identify project goals and objectives, highlight the importance of the research, provide relevant background information, and introduce the proposed research. By the end of this chapter, you should be able to do the following ...

Many, but not all. Project Descriptions begin with a short overview of project goals and objectives. Some Requests for Proposals (RFPs) require this explicitly, but many Project Descriptions start this way even if not required (e.g., 16 of the 22 CAREER proposals cited in this textbook begin by stating the goals and objectives of the proposed work). The purpose of this move is to highlight expected... 

Excerpt 12D illustrates a slight variation of move L Rather than state project goals and objectives explicitly, the author frames them as research questions, again in list form. (Such an approach underscores the inquisitive nature of science.)...

B Writing on Your Own Create a List of Project Goals and Objectives... 

After a Research Proposal topic is selected (refer back to the Writing on Your Own task in chapter 11), it is time to specify project goals and objectives. Consider guestions such as these to begin the brainstorming process ... 

A convenient way to summarize the more tangible accomplishments of your work is to present them in a timeline. Recall the specific-achievable-measurable (SAM) test for research objectives introduced in chapter 12 a timeline helps reviewers (and you) evaluate whether your project goals are achievable within the funding period. The start of this move is usually demarked with a level 1 heading. Common headings for move 1 are shown in table 14.1. 

Draft a list of expected outcomes for your proposed research. Strive to link your outcomes to the list of project goals and objectives that you created in the first section of the proposal (see Writing on Your Own task 12B). Make sure that you list outcomes in a parallel fashion. Include a heading and a brief introduction. 

Write a conclusion for your Project Description that(l) reiterates project goals and importance and (2) addresses the broader impacts ofthe work. Take advantage ofyour last opportunity to stress the importance of your work. 

To present project goals Present-active The goal of this proposal is to initiate an extensive research program in the emerging area of biophysical chemistry. (From Lorigan, 2002) The general aim is to utilize a combination of... (From Torigan, 2002)... 

Contaminant properties can also affect treatment costs. The type and amount of contaminants will impact the efficiency of any SVE technology. These impacts include the number of extraction wells, the power of the blower unit, and the length of operation required to achieve project goals. Contaminant properties will also impact the type of ancillary technology(ies) selected (D22449H, p. 4-4). 

Some caution may be needed when evaluating in situ technologies for the remediation of sediments. In situ treatment of sediments may be less cost-effective than ex situ methods because the treatment level for in situ methods is not uniform and in some cases project goals cannot be met throughout the site (D20043R, p. 6).
