Tips & Warnings
Also write a short title page and include any formal data from other sources to support your project. This usually does not count towards page count for a mini grant proposal. However some grant guidelines will give a max on how many pages can be attached. Remember just because you attach information does not mean it will be read. So all imperative information should be on the grant proposal.
