BACKGROUND INFORMATION
It is often acknowledged that it takes an expert to make the complex seem simple.
The background information section is very important. This section justifies the rationale for your proposal and allows the reviewer to feel comfortable with you as an appropriate applicant in this area of expertise. However, if you try to do too much, you will put the reviewer to sleep and undermine your efforts.
When writing the background section, try to find the correct balance between introducing the reviewer to your ideas and being brief.
While you are writing, if you constantly feel like you have to justify yourself or your ideas, then you are probably going overboard with detail while not getting to the heart of the matter. Step back and reread your work from a naive point of view. You should be able to follow the reasoning without much effort without feeling like this is a story that never ends.
Always be brief and reference others whenever possible. Reviewers will assume that you know what you are talking about as long as you write in a clear and coherent manner while citing appropriate references. You do not have to be exhaustive. The reviewer is not looking to challenge your knowledge and expertise. The reviewer only wants to understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. If these points are made in a clear and cogent manner, then it will naturally follow that you are an expert in the field of the application.
