[Flex] Fwd: NSF-approved Biographical Sketch Format

Mon Jun 17 17:52:29 EDT 2019

So I logged into SciENcv using Google and it asked me what type of Bio I 
wanted to create.  I said "NSF" and it spit out an NSF Bio formatted 
with all the sections that we are used to, but looking a little more 
like an NIH bio with the lines at the top, having accessed PubMed and 
other databases for info about me (and, of course, it had found 
nothing).  It then asked me to add information.

SO - the question becomes, will Fastlane accept a PDF /made from a 
standard Word file that we put together/, or must we use one of these 
"NSF approved formats" - I say "programs" - to create the PDF.

We shall see.
