Project description

This may be as long or as short as you like (~500 words is about average) and contain any information you think is useful. What do you want to do, why do you want to do it, how will you go about doing it, and why are you a good choice for the job? You can supplement your application with external links, but a reader should be able to understand the project you are proposing even if they only read the abstract you've written here.
