A literature review is typically an important part of a grant application. In it you wish to describe the problem you are addressing and why your proposed intervention is likely to work. Beyond that, you are also trying to convey to readers that you have a detailed understanding of the problem.
The literature review should not simply be a list of articles and a summary of their results. Rather it should try to tell a “story” and be written in clear sentences. For example, in writing about the impact of COVID on mental health, one paragraph might look something like this (the studies are fictitious):
COVID is clearly having a major negative impact on the mental health of communities. This has now been evaluated in three studies. Jones et al. in a study from New York City demonstrated that hospitalizations for mental health problems increased by 30% during the height of the pandemic and suicide rates nearly doubled (ref 1). In a study surveying older people living at home, Smith et al. reported that 40% of men and 30% of women demonstrated significant anxiety or depressive symptomatology (ref 2). These findings were confirmed in another study which also found that mental health symptoms were especially prevalent in people with a prior history of mental health problems or those living alone (ref 3). These findings clearly suggest that interventions to address mental health problems are needed during the COVID pandemic.
The write up should be about 2 pages double-spaced with an additional page for references.
