I still felt weird / guilty / something-or-other because I had the strong impression that I was asking for like 3-5× more money than were most people applying for the same kind of grant. But whenever I brought that up explicitly to the people in the field who were helping me with grant-applications etc., they all took great pains to assure me that it was fine
Good to hear you got funding at that rate, and that this is explicitly considered good-and-normal! That was the vibe I got (including from my own grant getting funded), and was part of why I was surprised in the first place.
