Reviewers will use only the information contained in the application to assess the application. Be sure the application and responses to the program requirements and expectations are complete and clearly written. Do not assume reviewers are familiar with the applicant organization. Keep the review criteria in mind when writing the application. Start preparing the application early. Allow plenty of time to gather required information from various sources. Follow the instructions in this guidance carefully. Place all information in the order requested in the guidance. If you do not put the information in the requested order, you may receive a lower score. Be brief, concise, and clear. Make your points understandable. Provide accurate and honest information, including candid accounts of problems and realistic plans to address them. If you omit any required information or data, explain why. Make sure the information provided in each table, chart, attachment, etc., is consistent with the proposal narrative and information in other tables. Be organized and logical. Many applications receive a low score because the reviewers cannot follow the thought process of the applicant, or because parts of the application do not fit together. Be careful in the use of appendices. Do not use the appendices for information required in the body of the application. Be sure to cross-reference all tables and attachments located in the appendices to the appropriate text in the application. Carefully proofread the application. Misspellings and grammatical errors will impede reviewers’ understanding of the application. Be sure pages are numbered (including appendices) and page limits are followed. Limit the use of abbreviations and acronyms, and define each one at its first use, and periodically throughout application. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: June 6, 2006.
