Hi everyone,
How strict is NSF with the margins of the statements?
I just realized that my research statement has a figure and two tables that are just barely over the 1'' margins. The parts that extend into the margins are the borders, so not actually part of the text or image. I'm guessing this happened when I converted the document from Word to PDF, since I was pretty sure my margins were fine before. I also put page #s in the footer of the documents.
I know there's nothing I can do now, but I might get some peace of mind if anyone has had experience, or heard of others, that have still gotten the award even though their figures/tables running slightly over the margin. Also, when are people normally notified if they are disqualified?
Thanks in advance!
