# LaTeX DFG template

__Last updated according to the DFG original template: June 2022__

A LaTeX template for a basic DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, German Research Foundation) grant proposal. __Attention__: you need ``pdflatex`` and ``biber`` (not ``bibtex``) to compile the document.
A LaTeX template for a basic DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, German Research Foundation) grant proposal. __Attention__: you need ``pdflatex`` and ``biber`` (not ``bibtex``) to compile the document. **Last updated according to the DFG original template listed in the header of the compiled PDF file (or in the `*.tex` files). Please check and open an issue if there are any updates to the original template not reflected here!**

## Acknowledgements

This template is based on the template of the [Measurement Engineering Group](https://github.com/emtpb/proposal_dfg) and based on the RTF [DFG form 53_01_en 11/20](http://www.dfg.de/formulare/53_01_elan/53_01_en_elan.rtf), __last accessed in February 2021__.

Thanks [@nneuss](https://github.com/nneuss) a German version is also available. Please use `dfg-german.tex` instead of `dfg.tex` for the German version. The german version is based on [DFG form 53.01 elan 03/22](https://www.dfg.de/formulare/53_01_elan/53_01_de_elan.rtf, __last accessed in June 2022__.
This template is based on the template of the [Measurement Engineering Group](https://github.com/emtpb/proposal_dfg) and mimicks the RTF template and PDF guidelines provided by [DFG with a focus on a "Sachbeihilfe" grant](https://www.dfg.de/foerderung/programme/einzelfoerderung/sachbeihilfe/formulare_merkblaetter/index.jsp).

## Optional content

The template implements some stuff that is not required by the original DFG template (or even needs to be removed when submitting to DFG). This includes a nice title page, as well as sections for a Signature and a List of Attachements. The LaTeX code is still available, just uncomment in the respective `dfg.tex` or `dfg-german.tex`.

## ToDo-Notes, reference labels and draft mode
By default, ToDos and labels are activated (see below) which is considered the _draft_ mode of the template. To turn both of them off (e.g. for the final version) just change `\setboolean{finalcompile}{false}` in dfg.tex to `\setboolean{finalcompile}{true}`.
