# Title:
3-5 word title

### Summary:
One or two sentence summary of the problem and your proposed solution approach

### Splash images
One or two graphics that capture and communicate the problem and proposed solution to technical but non-expert audiences.  Don't use images that aren't yours, and make sure this figure in isolation still effectively communicates your project summary above. 

### Project git repo(s):
Link to repo(s) which will have all project-related content

## Big picture 

### What is the overall problem that this and related research is trying to solve?

### Why should people (everyone) care about the problem?

### What has been done so far to address this problem?

## Specific project scope

### What subset of the overall big picture problem are you addressing in particular?

### How does solving this subproblem lead towards solving the big picture problem?

### What is your specific approach to solving this subproblem?

### How can you be reasonably sure this approach will result in a solution?

### How will we know that this subproblem has been satisfactorily solved, using quantitative metrics?

## Broader impact
(even if someone doesn't care about the big picture problem that you started with, why should they still care about the specific work that you've produced?  Who else can use your processes and results, and how?)

### What is the value of your approach beyond this specific solution?

### What is the value of this solution beyond solely solving this subproblem and getting us closer to solving the big picture problem?

## Background / related work / references
Link to your literature review in your repo.

## System capabilities, validation deliverables, engineering tasks

### Concrete external deadlines (paper submissions):
Include dates as well as target proposed title / abstract for expected submission

### Detailed schedule (weekly capabilities / deliverables / tasks):
