Four models for proposal development
The four models of proposal development are individual, consultative, cooperative, and collaborative
These models have diverse but complementary approaches in the development of project idea and grant application (Gitlin & Lyons, 2013)
The individual model requires a person to work independently in developing a proposal
For the success of individual model the objectives must be clear as well as procedures and expectations
Individual model if best for pilot projects and when an investigator is experienced and have a research agenda (Karsh & Fox, 2019).
Individual model is not good for larger projects that require diverse expertise or requiring participation form many organizations
An individual based approach is best when the resources are inadequate in terms of research knowledge and time.
The consultative model is an extension of individual model
The consultative model starts by developing an idea then requesting assistance form experts for better skills or expertise (Gitlin & Lyons, 2013)
For consultative model may involve hiring of consultant to perform an activity and this is considered favorable by a review panel since the expertise they offer increases the likelihood of success (Karsh & Fox, 2019).
Individual model as the name proposes involve one person and therefore it works best for small projects only
It is very difficult for a single person to have adequate knowledge, skills and expertise required in all aspects of the project. Therefore, the individual model is not best for a novice researcher or even an expert
This model fails to address complex matters and projects. Working alone causes investigator to have an isolative experience thereby lacking intellectual stimulation.
The consultative model includes inviting a consultant to give expertise in the proposal
Involving a consultant ensures additional expertise increasing the likelihood of success of the project
To ensure success of the consultative model project goals, expectations and procedures must be stated clearly, negotiations must be open and honest, roles be differentiated, trust ensured, cooperation and open communication maintained.

Four models for proposal development
The cooperative model is an extension of consultative model
It is best use when the investigator has knowledge but lacks skills therefore inviting individuals to help in the aspects he/she lacks knowledge in (Gitlin & Lyons, 2013)
The collaboration method extends on the cooperative model and is best for a complex organizational structure
It is built around working groups which contribute to independent and unique completion of tasks; a team is developed to work on the project aspects (Karsh & Fox, 2019)
Collaborative and collaborative models offer great opportunities in improving writing and project development skills.
The collaborative approach offers distinct and competitiveness especially when seeking project funds
The collaborative model promotes the sharing of knowledge among practitioners unlike the multidisciplinary approach in cooperative and consultative models (Gitlin & Lyons, 2013)
Both collaborative and cooperative models teams are able to develop more complex education and projects that require participation of multidisciplinary aspects
Collaborative model is however expensive since there is participation by more parties therefore more salary implications and more frequent meetings (Karsh & Fox, 2019)
There are two types of cooperative models. For the first one an investigator comes up with a project management then invites one or more people within the same or different disciplines in the institution for working on some project aspects. The project initiator defines involvement scope for each member and manages group activities
For the second type the initiator has knowledge but lacks skills and therefore gets an expert to offer the lacking skills. Both the initiator and the expert benefits from this cooperative arrangement
The collaboration model involves developing teams to work on the project. The teams work in an interdependent manner in performing tasks and solving problems. The success of this model is based on individual as well as team efforts. The teams are made up of different skills to work together and ensure success

Conclusion
For my proposed project I prefer to use collaborate model.
It is best since there is potential to improve skills of professionals with no experience therefore ensuring the bridging of the gap between academic and work environments to advance research (Karsh & Fox, 2019)
Individual method is best for pilot projects which are less complex. Therefore, complex projects would better employ consultative, cooperation and collaborative methods. Due to diversity in preferences and personalities the methods are better matched the project structure depending on the management and styles of leadership
