Too much information?

Ruminations on the level of detail needed in a grant application—and thoughts about cake

As a research development manager, one question that I’m not asked regularly enough is how much detail is required in a grant application.

Another way to think about this question is to ask what resolution an application should be written at. And, as with much else when it comes to writing funding applications, it can only really be answered if you take into consideration the audience you’re writing for.
