📦 Importing into Overleaf

The best way to use and share this template in a collaborative way is to import it to Overleaf.

  1. Head to overleaf.com and login or create an account if needed
  2. Click on the New project button on the top left corner
  3. Click on import from GitHub. Note you will need to link your Overleaf account to your GitHub account.
  4. Choose: grants-templates from the Quansight Labs organisation
  5. You should see the main_proposal.tex document open and compiled.

⚠️ If you want to keep your proposal in version control and sync with GitHub you need to fork this repo first and then follow the importing instructions above.

📝 Filling in the proposal

  • The main_proposal.tex file will be your main document which imports all the other pieces of the poposal.
  • The full proposal sections are in cycle_4.tex. We have indicated which sections are already prefilled with details from the LOI
  • You also need to provide details on each of the projects involved in the proposal. The easiest way is to make a copy of the project.tex file and include it in the main_proposal.tex file. For example if your proposal covers JupyterHub and Jupyterlab:
\include{JupyterHub}
\include{JupyterLab}

If you need to add references add them to the references.bib file and uncomment the bibliography line in the main_proposal.tex document.
