yes...  although the project summary/abstract is NOT included in the 20
pages.

Summary of feedback from C06 staff:

The entire project narrative can be no more than 20 pages. This includes
all sections. The Significance& Need section as well as the Project
Management section ARE included in the 20 page limit. The tables and line
drawings do not count toward the 20 page limit.

To be clear, the 20 page limit includes specific aims, background, and all
of the parts of the improvement plan including significance and need,
project management, design considerations, equipment, and the project
timeline.

***************

The Project summary/abstract is a summary of the proposed activity that
will be disseminated to the public if an award is made.  The specific aims
could be a good starting point for the text that is needed in a project
summary, but the two are not identical.  The specific aims are part of the
20 page limit.

I just got off the phone with NCRR and I hope everyone doing a C06
application for tomorrow's deadline already knows this...

The entire program narrative TEXT is limited to 20 pages. TABLES and
LINE DRAWINGS do not count against this total.

[These rules differ significantly from those used in past years.]
