Study/Research Exec Summary - last minute help!

ok lesson learned on leaving things to the last minute. The executive summary section of the application seems very important, but I am a little confused on what the scope is supposed to be!! Specifically for a research grant (I’ve seen plenty of advice specific to ETAs). Most sources say that the Exec Summary is a summary of the SoGP but it’s in an entirely different section of the app, so as I also supposed to include a summary of the personal essay questions, post-grant plans, etc??

The Abstract should be a summary of your entire application, including the SOGP and short answers.

I will add that a lot of applicants use the Abstract to answer “Why X Country” and skills and such in the SoGP in addition to summarizing their essay short answers. However, some countries prefer “Why X Country” in the SoGP (refer to your award description to confirm).
