This needs better documentation, but for now, this documentclass lets you make

relatively compact NSF proposals with a minimum of fiddly ad hoc formatting

inside the main document.

We've used this documentclass for both an MRI and a CC* proposal in 2021, and

it's just been recently been verified for the 2024 PAPPG standards (as far as

I know).

## TL;DR

`\documentclass[fontsize,basefont]{nsf-proposal}` where `fontsize` is `10pt`, `11pt`, or

`12pt`, and `basefont` is any of:

 - `arial`

 - `cm` (the default)

 - `courier-new`

 - `helvetica`

 - `palatino`

 - `palatino-linotype` (may only work by default on Windows)

 - `times-new-roman`

Optionally, add the `tg` class option to use the TeX Gyre equivalents to Courier

New, Helvetica, Palatino, or Times New Roman.

Now write the rest of your proposal, using `\chapter` on down to `\paragraph`

to break things up. You'll want to use the starred versions of these on the

one-page project summary. See [`nsf-demo.tex`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo.tex) and [`nsf-demo-content.tex`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo-content.tex) for an example.

## More Details

This documentclass uses the [memoir](https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir) class as its base, and supports proposals

with a base font size of 10 points and higher (for the `arial`, `courier-new`,

`helvetica`, `palatino`, and `palatino-linotype` options), or 11 points and higher (for the `cm`

and `times-new-roman` options).

It adds a small amount of whitespace around lines at 10pt, since NSF's PDF

readers will often flag a 10pt document as having more than 6 lines per inch.

We also noticed that LuaLaTeX creates a slightly different line height than

pdfLaTeX, so if you're using Overleaf, you may want to set the default engine

to pdfLaTeX, or if you find a better solution that works with both engines,

send me a pull request.

It disables most, if not all, of the hyperlinks in the main body of the

proposal, leaving hyperlinks active in the references.

The documentclass code is around 300 lines, including whitespace and

comments, so it should be relatively readable (over half of that is

for handling different base fonts and sizes).

The documentclass depends on the following packages:

- [`fontspec`](http://ctan.org/pkg/fontspec) (if using LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX)

- [`helvet`](https://ctan.org/pkg/helvet) (for option `helvetica`)

- [`hyperref`](https://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref)

- [`iftex`](https://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref)

- [`mathpazo`](https://ctan.org/pkg/mathpazo) (for option `palatino` and `palatino-linotype`)

- [`sansmath`](https://ctan.org/pkg/sansmath) (for option `arial` and `helvetica`)

- [`xstring`](https://ctan.org/pkg/xstring)

Sample source files for a proposal can be found in:

- [`nsf-demo.tex`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo.tex)

- [`nsf-demo-content.tex`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo-content.tex)

- [`nsf-demo.bib`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo.bib)

### Sample Output

The following table is grouped by base font, latex engine, and font size.

The "S", "D", and "R" PDFs represent the one-page

summary, the <=15-page project description, and the references/bibliography for a sample

NSF proposal. These PDFs can be uploaded to [research.gov](https://research.gov/)

on a test project, and they shouldn't throw any warnings as provided.

The "C" PDFs are a combined document including the summary, description, and references.

Any N/A entries represent either an impossible combination of font and engine

(e.g., Arial and pdflatex), or an invalid combination of font and size per

the NSF PAPPG (e.g., Computer Modern at 10 pt).

### Sample Document Details

The sample document [`nsf-demo.tex`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo.tex) (and [`nsf-demo-content.tex`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo-content.tex)) adds the following packages not

specifically required by NSF, but really handy for these sorts of proposals:

- [`array`](https://ctan.org/pkg/array) (including a ragged right paragraph column type `P`)

- [`biblatex`](https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex)

- [`booktabs`](https://ctan.org/pkg/booktabs) (with a reduced value for `\tabcolsep`)

- [`calc`](https://ctan.org/pkg/calc)

- [`cleveref`](https://ctan.org/pkg/cleveref)

- [`enumitem`](https://ctan.org/pkg/enumitem) (including inline lists)

- [`graphicx`](https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx)

- [`multicol`](https://ctan.org/pkg/multicol)

- [`pifont`](https://ctan.org/pkg/pifont)

- [`siunitx`](https://ctan.org/pkg/siunitx) (including binary units)

- [`xcolor`](https://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor)

- [`xurl`](https://ctan.org/pkg/xurl)

As shown in the sample document, you can use a `\chapter*` and `\section*`

for the 1-page Project Summary, `\chapter`, `\section`, `\subsection`,

`\subsubsection`, and `\paragraph` commands as needed in the Project

Description, where the subsubsection and paragraph levels are unnumbered

by default.

Larger font sizes may trigger hyphenation problems for some words and drive

some lines into the right margin, so be sure to add hyphenation as necessary

(already done for the `hurt2021` reference in [`nsf-demo.bib`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/blob/main/nsf-demo.bib)).

We also made a basic Gantt chart for one of the proposals. It uses

[`pgfgantt`](https://ctan.org/pkg/pgfgantt), with just a bit of abuse to let

us have additional columns for which team member bears primary responsibility

or secondary responsibility. You'll find its source and output in the

[`images/`](https://github.com/mikerenfro/nsf-proposal/tree/main/images) folder.
