I think it would be weird, and perhaps even presumptuous, to turn in a research proposal that appeared in the format of an OrgLett paper. Applying for an ACS graduate fellowship requires writing a mini-review in an OrgLett template, but that is a very special case. Your research proposal can and should have a very specific and consistent style–you could even borrow heavily from the OrgLett template. Just don’t use it outright. And definitely don’t use those red breaks!

It's all about stirring pots and hoping for shiny white crystals. Read-on to see some of the best modern organic chemistry, and comments from the folks at the bench.
The disconnection is pretty obvious, even though it required non-trivial reagent selection. Nice synthesis of naphthofuran.
Hate to break the stream but I had a question. Is it alright if I use an “organic lett.” template to write a research proposal.
