Application Tip #110
Is there a specific formal requirement for the research proposal?

We do not have specific format requirements. Our general guideline is to be considerate toward the reviewer - i.e. a font that's not too small (min 10 point, 12 pt is usually the most comfortable) and of a basic, easy to read style. Make sure there are some margins on the side for readers to make notes. If you feel you have explained things well, going under the limit is perfectly acceptable .

Fun Fact
Did you know...

... that Burg Frankenstein, a castle located in Hessen, likely inspired the title and plot of Mary Shelley's now famous novel, Frankenstein ?
