Template for NSF grant proposals, written in MyST Markdown.
Follow instructions at MyST-MD to install MyST
Once installed, run myst start in the command line to create a locally hosted website with all the files.
To convert all the markdown files to pdf's which you can upload to Research.gov, run the following command:
myst build proposal_md_files/*
or to just convert a single file:
myst build proposal_md_file/file_to_convert.md
The NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) provides the instructions for each section, some of those instructions, as they were in Jan of 2024, are included in each .md file. Please use the official NSF instructions at the above website as these may have been updated.
See proposal_md_files/02_project_description.md for examples of citation formats and including figures.
NSF requires a single bibliography, separate from the other files.
Currently MyST doesn't have a way to handle this.
Running the below commands will make a references.pdf file for ALL the references in the .bib file.
First, in proposal_md_files/03_references.tex update your correct .bib file name.
Then run:
make references
