+# latex-nihbiosketch
+
+A LaTeX class implementing the new (as of 2015) NIH Biographical Sketch Format.
+
+This LaTeX document class tries to adhere to the Biographical Sketch formatting requirements outlined in NIH Notice [NOT-OD-15-032](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-032.html). This new format is required for applications submitted for due dates on or after May 25, 2015.
+
+I tried to mimic the example documents provided on the [SF 424 (R&R) Forms and Applications page](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/424/index.htm#format) as closely as possible. I have used this class for my own grant submissions; however I offer no guarantee of conformity to NIH requirements.
+
+To use:
+
+ 1. Add the file `newbiosketch.cls` to your local `texmf` tree
+ 2. Pattern your document based on `example-nihbiosketch.tex`
+ 3. Compile your document with `xelatex` or `lualatex` (required for the Arial font that NIH favors)
