There seems to be some template from DFG for the attached CV? Could be also added to the template, although it also seems fine to just attach any CV in own style (not sure)

Does is make sense to add the template version DFG-Vordruck 53.01 - 03/22 to the latex-edition in the header?
This is not present at the moment. But may useful? What do you think?

New DFG guidelines ask to number your references in Sec. 1.2.1. and 1.2.2 consecutively. For other references in the bibliography, it seems that one can arrange them alphabetically. Please suggest that how one should do this in your template?

First of all, thank you very much for creating and sharing the so wonderful DFG LaTeX template! It helped me really a lot prepare my proposal. I'll definitely keep to use your template for my other future proposals:)

I got wondering that if sections 6 "Signature" and 7 "List of attachments" really exist in the present official DFG templates. Maybe ~4 years ago they were in the official template, but now as far as I see 53_01_en_elan.rtf of 11/20, 03/22, and 09/22 (yeah, this month they again updated it), there are no corresponding sections anymore. I also did a random survey for 53_05_en_elan.rtf, 53_09_en_elan.rtf, 53_15_en_elan.rtf, 53_24_en_elan.rtf, and 53_120_en_elan.rtf, none of which seems to have the corresponding sections.

I actually noticed this because, after submitting my proposal, the DFG office requested to remove these sections to comply the present template.

So, if you think reasonable, how about now removing these chapters? Or, if these sections are requested in some DFG proposal categories, how about indicating this in the template?

Now there are small macros like \todo, but we could add this package todonotes 1. I would include it. The macro \todo now can be reused, it would necessary to extend a small workaround when using externalize with tikz (i already have) to the behaviour of \todo will just be more fancy in the default config.

I can make a proposal here in a seperate branch by a pull request if you like.

Thanks for sharing the template. I'm using it for my proposal and I'll let you know if my proposal is successful. In the meantime, I have a question:

the \todo box containing the text First-time should be shifted a bit to the left since it overflows to the right in my pdf generated. I have tried to shift it leftward but was not successful.

Also, enabling \setboolean{finalcompile}{true} before input the Header.tex file didn't change anything to my pdf generated.

In the current template DFG states in the section "Project- and subject-related list of publications" to highlight the author's publications. Also highlighting is not a must the DFG strongly recommends doing so. Here is a short solution that can be added to the Header.tex:

%% Highlight entries
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\DeclareBibliographyCategory{important}
\colorlet{impentry}{Maroon}% let 'impentry' = Maroon
\AtEveryBibitem{%
  \ifcategory{important}%
    {\bfseries\color{impentry}}%
    {}%
  }
\addtocategory{important}{%
Smith2023a,Smith2023b,Smith2023c,Smith2023d,MIller1900, % don't miss the comma after the last entry
}

I'm having this error while compiling with TexMaker.

Any idea?
Thanks and best regards!

The DFG made changes that need to be integrated into the LaTeX template:

Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Strukturierung des Leitfadens ab Mai 2020 und somit auch die "Beschreibung des Vorhabens" geändert wurde. Übergangsweise können Anträge nach dem Link auf eine Office-Dateivorherigen Vordruck (53.01 - 02/20) eingereicht werden bis zum 30. Oktober 2020. Neuerungen finden Sie zusammengefasst in der Interner LinkInformation für die Wissenschaft

Neben dem wissenschaftlichen Kernbereich sind vielfältige Begleitinformationen Gegenstand eines Projektantrags. Angesichts des weiterhin beschränkten Seitenumfangs gibt es künftig eine geschützte Seitenanzahl für den wissenschaftlichen Kernbereich. Den begleitenden Informationen, deren einzelne Fragen projektabhängig und fachspezifisch sehr unterschiedliche Relevanz haben können, soll ein entsprechender Raum gegeben werden.

https://www.dfg.de/foerderung/info_wissenschaft/2020/info_wissenschaft_20_24/index.html

Die Beschreibung des Vorhabens ist vom Umfang her beschränkt, hierbei stehen für Kap. 1 bis 4maximal 15 Seiten zur Verfügung. Ab Kapitel 5 stehen zusätzlich 10 Seiten zur Verfügung. Die vorgegebene Formatierung ist beizubehalten, insbesondere soll die Schrift Arial 11 Punkt, Zeilenabstand 1,2 nicht unterschritten werden. Für die Kapitel Projektbezogenes Publikationsverzeichnis und Literaturverzeichnis soll die Schrift Arial 9 Punkt nicht unterschritten werden

http://www.dfg.de/formulare/53_01_elan/53_01_de_elan.rtf

The original DFG rtf template contains a page count with maximum pages, depending on the sections.
https://www.dfg.de/formulare/53_01_elan/53_01_de_elan.rtf

So the user can directly see, if there are too many pages written within a sections part.

the limits are

• section 1-3: max. 17 pages
  
• section 4+5: max. 8 pages
  

Is there a way to implement max. pages to the existing page count into the latex template?

After adding the "WP" prefix to the \paragraph headings in dfg.tex the following \subsubsubsection also contain the prefix, because the \subsubsubsection definition is based on \paragraph. As a result I see, for instance, travel expenses with the "WP" prefix.

Definition in the proposal.sty:

\newcommand{\subsubsubsection}[1]{\paragraph{#1} \mbox{} \par}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}

Before the work package section in dfg.tex:
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{WP\,\arabic{paragraph}}

After the work package section something like \renewcommand{\theparagraph}{\arabic{paragraph}} is missing. The letter code line adds numbering to the heading but only on the first level. If one needs section level 4 (e.g. 1.4.1.2 Foo Bar) another solution needs to be found.

The Header.tex file uses the finalcompile boolean to determine whether todo notes & section labels are shown... but the value of the variable is only set in dfg.tex after the Header.tex has been input. As such, setting the variable in dfg.tex has no effect on the compiled document.

To fix:

• Declare the variable in proposal.sty
• Move the \setboolean command to before \input{Header}

According to 1 there is a new chapter 7.8 "Module Standard Allowance for Gender Equality Measures" at the end.

I will look for other changes of the current template. If someone finds others, please write it down here. Then I can put all of them into this template at the end of this week.

I'd like to move all from Header.txt to proposal.sty. I see no things according to dfg.tex or dfg-german.tex which cannot be implemented in proposal.sty. I think this is more cleaner then. I also propose the following:

• move all of the current Header.tex to proposal.sty
• the paragraph styling is now like [parskip=full] of komascript. [parskip=half] which is the default of komascript will save space
• the definition of \subparagraph{} will make new lines. Even a \paragraph{} usually does not.
• \subparagraph{} and even ¸\paragraph{} (to be checked) has some space above itself, it can be reduced. Maybe a switch to quickly remove this when one gets in trouble of filling this 15 pages space?
• define the DFG-Color als a color-code ready to be used in proposal.sty

If nothing stands against that, I will do this changes. Also some things which are defined in the single files dfg.tex and dfg-german.tex may come into this.

There are some changes that should be incorporated into the template before further usage!

Die DFG hat den Leitfaden für Projektanträge (Vordruck 54.01) aktualisiert. Das betrifft die Beschreibung des Vorhabens bei Projektanträgen im Rahmen einer Sachbeihilfe, des Emmy Noether-Programms, einer Forschungsgruppe, einer Klinischen Forschungsgruppe oder eines Schwerpunktprogramms. Übergangsweise werden Anträge nach der alten Vorlage nur noch bis zum 31. Mai 2022 angenommen.

Folgendes hat sich geändert:
• Angaben zum Umgang mit Forschungsdaten sind nun verpflichtend (weitere Infos inklusive Checkliste).
• Die Kapitel „Umgang mit Forschungsdaten“ und „Relevanz von Geschlecht und/oder Vielfältigkeit“ sind nun im wissenschaftlichen Teil der Vorhabenbeschreibung angesiedelt.
• Im Kapitel 2.3 „Arbeitsprogramm“ können ggf. Qualitätssicherungsmaßnahmen erläutert werden.
• Das Kapitel 4.1.2 „Erläuterung zu den vorgesehenen Untersuchungen bei Versuchen am Menschen oder an vom Menschen entnommenem Material“ wurde um den Bereich Versuche mit „identifizierbaren Daten“ ergänzt.
• Die Hinweise zum „Dual Use Research of Concern“ (Kapitel 4.1.5) wurden aufgrund geänderter rechtlicher Normierungen aktualisiert. An dieser Stelle möchte ich an unsere eigene Hausverfügung zum Umgang mit DURC erinnern.

Summary
Is there a way to include literature sorting with different labels directly into the template?
e.g. own literature labeled as [E1], [E2], ...
others literature labeld as [1], [2], ...

Describing the Problem
There are mainly two different literature sections

• own work (project specific and non-project specific) (Section 1.2, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2)
• general literature in Section 3: state of research, project goals, working program

The general order is

• state of research and own pre-research
• own literature for pre-research (Section 1.2, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2)
• Describing project goals
• others literature, for state of research, own research and working program

The result is a unsorted mixture of literature in the text. Lets assume [1]-[10] are own literature, and [11-30] others.
In Chapter 1 in the text, there is a mixture of the literature, e.g.

txt [11], ..... [1] .... [12] ... [2,3] .... [13].... [14]....

Possible Solution
is there a way to label own literature with additonal sign directly into the template?

txt [1], ..... [E1] .... [2] ... [E2, E3] .... [3].... [4]....

Hi,
first, let me thank you for creating this LaTeX template!
I am thinking of translating it into a German version. Is there any interest for that?
If yes, the best way is probably to create it as a separate file 'dfg-german.tex', no?

Nicolas
