Should an ETA statement read like a research proposal?

No. It should center teaching, exchange, maturity, and local engagement rather than a research agenda.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
