Clearly states their Hypothesis and the requisite background information that led to the hypothesis:
Describe how the proposed work fits into the field/fills a gap in knowledge: Relationship of big picture of project to the field clearly indicated and explained
The Hypothesis should make predictions that their research will address
Clearly indicates the testable and falsifiable predictions the hypothesis makes
They should be able to identify what they will measure to support or disprove their hypothesis
Identifies questions that need to be answered
Clearly indicates what must be measured
Clearly indicates how the system will be perturbed tp test the hypothesis
