This repository contains unofficial LaTeX templates for Norges Forskningsråd applications. These LaTeX templates are based on the official Word templates. The respository consists of a class file (nfr.cls), a project description template, a CV template, and four bibliography styles. The class file follows the following instructions in the official template:
The page format must be A4 with 2 cm margins, single spacing and Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman or similar 11-point font. You are permitted to use 9-point font for the list of references and figure captions.
The bibliography styles facilitate abbreviated bibliographies and citation styles (see below).
The file template-for-project-description-researcher-project-for-experienced-scientists-and-early-career-scientists.tex is a conversion of the official file found here, converted to LaTeX by pandoc. I modified the resulting file to use the nfr document class so that section A of that document is the actual structure, using the \section and \subsection commands, and the other sections are treated as an appendix.
The file template-for-cv-researchers.tex is a template for creating a CV, based on the NFR CV template for researchers found here. I haven't done the early career one yet. This template uses the nfr LaTeX class with the "cv" option and either the "manager" (default) or "partner" option to indicate if the manager or partner check box should be checked.
In addition to general formatting, the class file also contains counters and commands for work packages (\workpackage), tasks (\task), deliverables (\deliverable), and milestones (\milestone), as well as reference commands (\wpref, \tskref, \dref, and \mref). These commands can collect duration information for automatic Gantt chart generation. See the file Gantt_chart_example.tex for a working example.
There are also counters and environments for objectives (objective), hypotheses (hypothesis), and research questions (resq). The environments have starred (*) alternatives which are not numbered. The number prefix can be changed by passing an alternative prefix as an option in brackets to the environment.
I have also included four bibliography styles to work with the natbib package in the bst directory. All four aim to reduce the length of the bibliography that's produced. The styles shortnat and veryshortnat are for author-year references, while shortnum and veryshortnum are for numbered references. See an example of how to produce Nature-like references in the "Template" file. The directory also contains versions of these styles with support for the jabbrv package. They are prefixed with jabbrv_.
