The project description may not exceed 15 single-spaced pages. In those rare cases where it is deemed necessary to exceed the 15-page limit, justification should be discussed with and approval, in writing, obtained from the appropriate Assistant Director for the Directorate or the Division Director, before the proposal is submitted. Appended information must not be used to circumvent the page limit on the length of the proposal's project description. As you can see, these two different agencies require exactly the same kinds of information in a project description. A clear and efficient presentation is all that is required.
Most agencies ask for a description of the facilities available to the proposed project.
The description of available facilities in your proposal may be long and detailed enough to justify including it as an entirely separate section. In unusual cases, especially where long lists of items, diagrams, or floor-plans are involved, it may be advisable to include such details in an appendix to the proposal. A word is in order here about illustrations. All funding agencies discourage elaborate or complicated proposals, as well as expensively produced diagrams, photographs, drawings, flowcharts, and so on. On the other hand, visual aids, when prepared neatly and concisely, can supply essential information to a reviewer.
