Using LaTeX for NIH Grant Applications

If you are a computer scientist, you'll want to use LaTeX. Some NIH folks are using LaTeX these days: Here is a great site from Dr. Schneider's lab at NIH describing the advantages of LaTeX over Word for your proposal.

Here is a sample page from my R01, so you can see what these LaTeX files produce.

Quick start: Download from CTAN, nih.zip, nih.tgz, or my source files. I usually use nih.cls these days (in the zip file), which I have now updated to conform to "PHS 398/2590 Rev 09/04."

Here is the "blank" version for use with electronic submissions to NIH.

If you make improvements or enhancements (e.g., to the .sty or .tex files) I would be grateful if you could send me a copy, to this Email.
