Template for Submission of CHEM PhD Original Proposal

Word 2011, Page Wide Abstract Version

Using the template

1. If typing your manuscript directly into the template, select (highlight) the text of the template that you want to replace and begin typing your manuscript (i.e., select the Title section for typing in your title).

4. Ensure that page numbers are present on all pages before submitting your proposal.

5. Delete these instructions and any sections that are not needed.

AUTHOR NAMES (Word Style "BB_Author_Name").

ABSTRACT: (Word Style “BD_Abstract”). All proposals must be accompanied by an abstract. Your abstract should directly address in 250-500 words: 1) specific objective of the proposed research; 2) central hypothesis; 3) specific aims (usually 2-3); 4) significance of proposed research.

TABLES. Each table must have a brief (one phrase or sentence) title that describes its contents. The title should follow the format "Table 1. Table Title" (Word Style "VD_Table_Title"). The title should be understandable without reference to the text. Put details in footnotes, not in the title (use Word Style "FE_Table_Footnote"). Do NOT modify the amount of space before and after the title as this allows for the space above and below the table to be inserted upon editing.

Use tables (Word Style “TC_Table_Body”) when the data cannot be presented clearly as narrative, when many precise numbers must be presented, or when more meaningful interrelationships can be conveyed by the tabular format. Do not use Word Style “TC_Table_Body” for tables containing artwork. Tables should supplement, not duplicate, text and figures. Tables should be simple and concise. It is preferable to use the Table Tool in your word-processing package, placing one entry per cell, to generate tables.

Place the insertion point where you want to change the number of columns

From the Insert menu, choose Break

Now your page is set up so that figures, schemes, charts, and tables can span two columns. These must appear at the top of the page. Be sure to add another section break after the table and change it back to two columns with a spacing of 0.33 in.
