It’s time to get that CREATE grant in and “tell your education story” to the ERC.  After all, the narrative writing is the meat of the entire application that provides the most information regarding your need, plan and expected outcomes.  It should reflect an obvious connection to your mission and goals.  A good narrative is like a good story and flows and builds from one section to the next.  Therefore, it is up to you as the applicant to make sure the reviewers can easily read and understand what you are trying to say.  Remember, the ERC is reviewing many applications so it is up to you to be proactive in keeping your application focused on the main points. It is never a good practice to make them hunt for the answers to what you want. Believe it or not, in grant writing …Simple is actually good!
