Boilerplate is text that has been created for use in one document that can subsequently be re-used — sometimes “as is” and sometimes with only minor revisions — in a new document. When you prepare a new research proposal, you’ll often find that using boilerplate can save you considerable time, as it eliminates the need to write standard text from scratch. Instead, you can simply pull the information you need from the relevant boilerplate document, then tailor it as needed for use in your new research proposal.

The Office of Research Development has begun to generate a library of boilerplate repository; if you would like to contribute boilerplate material to the repository, or if you would like to suggest additional boilerplate topics, please contact ORD at ord@rice.edu.
