AVOID PACKING IN TOO MUCH INFORMATION
When writing a grant application, it is tempting to put in all the information that you can think of, just to be sure that you do not miss something. More information is not always better. The quality of the information is far more important than the quantity of the information.
If you put in a lot of non pivotal information, you take the risk of having the reviewers miss the important information. It is a lot like having a lot of noise in an experiment. You want to be sure that the signal is strong, so keep the noise as low as possible.
Put in just the pivotal pieces of information and then enough supporting information to make all key aspects of the application clear and to make it clear that you know the area of science relevant to the application. You do not have to be exhaustive.
In addition to creating noise in your application, putting in too much information also risks a reviewer getting confused over a digression and blowing it out of proportion, possibly sinking your application. This can happen over a piece of information that you really did not need in the first place. So it is usually best to keep things simple.
