Cycle 16 Scientific Justification Word Processor Templates for Phase I
October 04, 2006
No Previous Programs Section in Templates
At the request of previous HST review Panels and TACs, we have removed the Previous
Programs Section from the templates. This information is not required for Cycle 16.
General Information
If you are viewing this document from the browser in APT (The title bar will
say "Astronomer's Proposal Tools Help") please go directly to the Science Templates
webpage at http://www.stsci.edu/hst/proposing/docs/template in your normal
web browser, as you will not be able to download these templates from the APT Java
help browser.
We have created these templates to aid a Phase I Proposer to generate
their PDF Scientific Justification. You may use any word processor that
you wish as long as you maintain the Font Size. We are
using 12 pt Font and are providing templates in Microsoft Word, LaTeX
and a PDF File.
Please be sure to read the
Call for Proposals carefully especially Chapter 7
for Guidelines and a Checklist,
Chapter 8 for APT, and
Chapter 9 for your PDF attachment, before creating your Phase I submission.
Including PostScript Figures
If you need help on including PostScript figures, you may try
postscript-guidelines
for some guidance.
Creating the PDF Attachment
There are various ways to generate a PDF file depending upon your platform
and word processing software. Please review How to Make a PDF File
for some tips.
It is also possible to convert other formats,
e.g., PostScript to PDF. Please check with your Systems Support Staff to
see if they have tools available at your site.
In the past there have been some problems with how APT interacts with older versions
of ps2pdf. If you use ps2pdf, you should try to use version 1.3, as
previous versions have problem displaying Symbols and such when viewing
from APT. Please also see our Web Page that has information on the
APT PDF Compatibility Issue at: http://www.stsci.edu/hst/proposing/apt/faq_bug.
