I say, go for it!!

What is the worst case scenario? You don't get it.
What is best case scenario? You get it!

What have you got to lose besides unemployment?

Definitely give it a go.

What they need to hear is that you have written successful grant apps in the past. That more than offsets whatever liabilities you might think you have. Keep in mind, they don't know you and don't know about some of the stuff you are worried about so don't volunteer anything.

Don't just go for it. Go for it with confidence. Just assume that they will give you the job. Your resume and cover letter should provide the "back up" necessary to justify them handing it to you.

Report back after you get the job.
