SayPro Application Encouragement: Sample Dataset or Project Overview (Optional but Recommended)

While submitting a sample dataset or project overview is optional, SayPro strongly encourages teams to provide one as part of their application. Including this additional material can significantly strengthen your application by showcasing the scope, quality, and relevance of your work.

What Is a Sample Dataset or Project Overview?

• Sample Dataset:
  A small sample of the data you plan to work with in your research, project, or initiative. This could include raw data or organized data that reflects the type of research or project you are proposing. A sample dataset provides SayPro with a clear idea of the data structure, variables, and the types of insights you hope to generate.
  • Example: A fitness team may submit anonymized data on participant demographics, workout routines, or health outcomes.
  • Example: A wellness group may share a sample dataset of survey responses related to lifestyle habits or wellness program effectiveness.
• Project Overview:
  A brief summary of your ongoing or proposed project. This should include:
  • Project objectives: What you aim to achieve through your research or initiative.
  • Methodology: How you intend to collect, analyze, and use the data.
  • Expected outcomes: What kind of results or impact you hope to achieve.
  The project overview should demonstrate how your project aligns with the goals of SayPro and show how you plan to use data to drive meaningful results in fitness, wellness, or recreation.
