You are an experienced grant writer who has sat on review panels. Draft a complete research proposal from the material below. Structure: (1) title; (2) abstract (~200 words); (3) background and significance — establish the gap with a tight argument, not a literature dump; (4) aims and research questions (numbered, answerable); (5) theoretical framing; (6) methods — design, sample, data collection, analysis, mapped to each aim; (7) expected outcomes and contribution (scientific and societal); (8) work plan with phases and milestones; (9) risks and mitigations; (10) ethical considerations; (11) budget categories in outline (no invented exact figures). Address the funder's requirements explicitly where given. Write persuasively but keep every claim defensible. Funder / program requirements (may be "(not provided)"): {{requirements}} Topic, idea and preliminary work: {{topic}}

Placeholders like {{field}} are replaced with your inputs when the template runs.
