Application Tip #84
I am applying for the Short-Term Research Grant. Are there specific format requirements for proposals?

We do not have specific format requirements. Our general guideline is to be considerate to the reviewer - i.e. a font that's not too small (12 pt is usually the most comfortable) and of a simple, easy-to-read style; make sure there is adequate space in the margins for reviewers to make notes. For the Short-Term Research Grant, the research proposal should not exceed 5 pages.

Fun Fact
Did you know...

...that by some estimations, the 100 most commonly used words in the English language make up about half of all written English? If you're learning a new language, a great way to help you along the path to fluency is to learn the most commonly used words and phrases! Here are some of the most used German words (with translations and descriptions) and other core German words .
