- Use simple straightforward language
- Ensure a single voice is used throughout the application
- Use positive language
- Know your audience: use the funder’s language
- Avoid jargon and acronyms
- Tell a story
- Use an active voice
- Write definitive statements
- Ensure your application is grammatically correct
