How many outcomes should you have? You want the reviewer to be able to remember your outcomes --- they should be able to recall your outcomes throughout the proposal--- so don't make too many, but don't make too few since that runs the risk of suggesting either a narrow scope for the research or overly broad outcomes that don't define the research sufficiently. Between three and five is about right. Less than three is too few --- the reviewer wonders what else you might be able accomplish. More than five is too much --- the reviewer thinks that you are over committing yourself. My preference is three outcomes, and there is room for more if you absolutely need them.
