The 500 word max project summary is notoriously the most difficult  
part of an NSF proposal to write. Having been involved in a  
successful NSF proposal, I can safely state that we spent quite a few  
hours polishing that beast which came in with something like 498  
words or thereabouts. Anyone who thinks that writing a good 250 word  
scholarly article is a 15-30 minute exercise, is in my mind not fit  
to edit their local PTA newsletter let alone TI.
