writing a phd proposal for history

S

Wondered if anyone has any tips for writing a PhD proposal for the AHRB? I am struggling to outline exactly what I'm going to do when I haven't started the research yet. How detailed should it be? How important is it to show that your work will add to a current area of research and how do you demonstrate this when you don't know what your findings will be?! Any tips on how to plan a proposal would be gratefully appreciated. I know what I want to say but it's just how to present it on paper> Aaagh!
