1Coderzelf: are you asking whether to choose between the singular "effort" and the plural "efforts"? If so (or even if not!) can you edit your post to make your specific question more clear?– Dan BronOct 21, 2014 at 18:18

Effort can be used as an uncountable noun or as a countable noun in which case its plural is efforts.
Much effort has been made.
Many efforts have been made.
These are both grammatical.
