The abstract should include a brief introduction to the study or project, a discussion of the methods used in the study, and a summary of the results or conclusions. If the work is still in progress and a summary of results or conclusions would be premature, the abstract should address the types of analyses that will be performed and how they are anticipated to address the research problem.
