Hi Sandeep, That is great news, and good job. OK, for some ideas about developing your proposal, you may want to simply start with a Google Docs, and then share it with Pei. I'd be happy to help co-mentor if Pei and you think it's useful too.
Your proposal should likely cover: 1. Background - what's the state of CTAKES-189 and what's it trying to accomplish (include some figures, etc. along with your text) 2. Approach - what are you going to do to solve CTAKES-189. Be specific, and try to break it down into smaller, easily reversible steps 3. Schedule - how long and what is the schedule for achieving this? 4. Risks/etc. - any known risks like are you taking a vacation anytime soon :) or are there other time constraints? 5. References, etc. HTH and I'd be happy if you want to share the GDocs with me as you develop it. Cheers!
