Hi All,
Wrapping up with my application and still looking for a way to shave off a few lines from my research plan. My advisor suggested I use 13 pt. line spacing, which she uses in her nsf proposals. I looked at the solicitation and it outlines document format as such:
standard 8.5" x 11" page size
12-point, Times New Roman font or Computer Modern (LaTeX) font
10-point font may be used for references, footnotes, figure captions and text within figures
1" margins on all sides
Single-spaced (approximately 5 lines per inch) or greater line spacing. Applicants should not use line spacing options such as “exactly 12 point,” that are less than single spaced.
Would 13 pt exact line spacing fall into the "single-spaced or greater line spacing" ? I used this spacing last year and nothing was ever said about it, so I assume it is okay. But, I'm hoping for your thoughts on the matter.
Cheers.
