(no subject)

First rough chop of grant application to meet draconian new page limits: 25 pages to 18. I still have to get it down to 12.

Also, I haven't added all the "more detail" sections I promise the reviewers in my response to their critiques. "We have revised Section X.X to include more information about scenarios in which CBT techniques may be incorporated in PATCH, as well as additional examples of an MI approach to conspiracy beliefs." "We expanded the discussion of subject availability and recruitment strategies in Section X.X." "Please see Section X.X for more details about how potential participants will be approached once they have been identified." Yeah, none of that will be a problem when the PAGE LIMITS HAVE BEEN CUT IN HALF.

I haven't read the chopped version yet to see if it even makes sense. *weeps tears of blood*

ARG.

If only you could shave the linespacing. *g*

By reading the application guidelines, you can envision all the tricks generations of NIH researchers have tried. They specify a list of allowable fonts, a minimum font size, permissible margins, etc. etc. etc. They've seen it all.

Overlapping text in red and blue ink, with sheets of colored cellophane?

Oh, I like that one.

This is inspired....I wonder if it will work for my thesis?

I can't tell you how many hours I have spent making sure that no Times crept in when the only allowed fonts were Arial and Times New Roman.
