Postdoc Research Fellowship Proposal – Need Help

Its never too early to be thinking about getting a job in 2010!  So, I will be applying for some research fellowships here and there.  The thing is, I have never written a research proposal.  So, this is a plea to anyone with experience in this area and especially those of you who have been successful.

1. Any general tips?

2. How long was your proposal?

3. How technical was your proposal?

4. How long was your bibliography in your proposal?

Keep in mind, this is for postdoc fellowships, NOT phd programs.  Also, I prefer that it is in New or Old Testament (New is more useful for me) or at least in the humanities.

This is one of those times where we can all learn from each other.  Lord knows I need the help!
