Happy new Year! Im afraid Ive fallen down a bit on my Friday postings. Heres to the new year and the hope that I can keep up the postings! FACEBOOK FRIDAY Format and Brevity are Important: Do not feel that your proposal is rated based on its weight. Do not do your best to be as verbose as possible, to cover every conceivable detail, to use the smallest permissible fonts, and to get the absolute most out of each sheet of paper. Reviewers hate being challenged to read densely prepared text or to read obtusely prepared matter. Use 12 point fonts, use easily-legible fonts, use generous margins. Take pity on reviewers. Make your proposal a pleasant reading experience that puts important concepts up front and makes them clear. Use figures appropriately to make and clarify points, but not as filler. Remember, you are writing this proposal to the reviewers, not to yourself. Exceeding page limits or other formatting criteria, even marginally, can disqualify your proposal from consideration.
