nsf-proposal:latex-samples

This is an open-source repository for collaboration on samples to use in the Research.gov Proposal Preparation system. These samples are not official templates, nor have they been. These LaTeX samples were created by a volunteer group of NSF program officers. Output PDF files upload successfully on the Research.gov demo site. Samples were last tested March 2022. All data is dummy data.

For all other help with proposal submission, not related to LaTeX, please visit https://www.research.gov/research-web/content/aboutpsm or the PAPPG guide https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=pappg

Tips:

Check the PDF Version of your resulting PDF. PDF version should be 1.5 or higher.

Don't use \subsubsection commands for required headers. Use \section for headers. The system validations will not recognize \subsubsection

If a PDF produces warnings or errors, experiment with different PDF producers.

Line spacing warnings are prevalent with Arial 10. Increase line spacing or experiment with another PAPPG approved 10 sized font. Remember warnings do not prohibit submission.

URLS are not permitted in project descriptions. Some PDF conversions will automatically add clickable links to plain text that resemble a link. An example of a package that adds links is the hyperref package. Additional processing may be required to strip out the links from the PDF.

Avoid using a non-standard .cls (class) file which can lead to headers not being recognized or found by the Research.gov compliance tools. Other options include deleting and retyping the headers in the PDF directly using an Adobe Acrobat PDF editor.

Using images from another PDF source may trigger warnings or error messages. We recommend converting pictures first to PostScript for images in vector format, then from PostScript back to PDF. If instead the image is a bitmap, convert to PNG which is supported by the "graphicx" LaTeX package.
