That reminds me, Smile is right about buzz words.
Too often, people came to me with ideas of what "they" wanted. If it didn't fit the criteria, it is an absolute waste of time. Hard to convince people of this, too. The better way is to see what funds are being offered and why. If you work your grant proposal around the criteria, it is much better.

Good Luck to anyone writing one. Anything I can do to help, just let me know.
