You will also need to make a convincing case for why you should receive funding. It is important that you take the time to make sure your application has all the Cs. This means making your writing <strong>c<\/strong>lear, <strong>c<\/strong>oncise, and <strong>c<\/strong>ompelling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/>1.<strong> Make It Clear<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your application easy to read.&nbsp;Reviewers need to&nbsp;see how your application fulfills all the selection criteria.&nbsp;This may include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What you plan to do;<\/li><li>How it connects with the funding source&#8217;s objectives;<\/li><li>Why you are the right person to get the job done;<\/li><li>How much money you will need and what will it pay for;&nbsp;<\/li><li>What&nbsp;you want the project to result in;<\/li><li>Who is likely to benefit in the broader community.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/>2. <strong>Make It Concise<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant reviewers often have to&nbsp;read many&nbsp;grant&nbsp;applications.

Each section seeks different information, so don&#8217;t include the same information in more than one area.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Use quality information rather than&nbsp;quantity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Avoid using language that is wordy or vague.
