NIH does not produce the PDF file for you. You must submit the PDF through Grants.gov as part of the submission process. When you are dealing with calendar, summer or academic months, you cannot go over 12. If it is a calendar appointment and the person devotes 50 percent effort, it translates to six months. Keep in mind the distinction between calendar months and salary. You often have effort without salary.

A PDF file (PDF stands for "portable document format") is one created by Adobe's Acrobat software. It displays text in a reader-friendly format - as if it had been created by a word processor or desktop publisher. The reason that it's so portable though is that it can be downloaded readily for screen display or printing by your Web browser and read by any computer that has the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed - it doesn't matter if your computer is a PC or a Mac. And yes .

Some pages include Adobe® Acrobat® PDF files. These files can be downloaded and viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free software utility from Adobe Systems Incorporated. They can also be viewed with your browser if you install the free PDF Viewer Plug-In from the Acrobat package. Adobe instructions are available to help install Acrobat and configure it with your browser and system.

Perhaps even more important is the amount of time it takes to view a PDF file on the web with a dial-up connection vs. a standard HTML page. It's our experience that information viewed via a PDF file can take many times longer, if not orders of magnitude longer, than the same information viewed in a standard HTML page. This is a genuine barrier for clients with a dial-up connection.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. This type of file is used widely on the web because it is relatively small and easy to share across different computer platforms.
