The following are the main section headers for project proposals, interim reports, and final reports. The word limits are guidelines to be treated as upper bounds. You can, and generally should, augment your submissions with pictures. If you have one or more pictures you would need fewer words. You can have a picture do double duty by having it respond to more than one section.

Submit each proposal and report as a single PDF document.
