How to choose resources for a research proposal?

I’m trying to write a 2 pages research proposal for a scholarship application
I want to write about synthesising the building blocks of life under extreme conditions but I don’t have any research experience.
How can I find the right resources?
This is what chat gpt suggested but a lot of it is old
