A 1-inch margin is needed on all sides. The header must be right-justified and should include the title of your proposal on the left side of the page and page number on the right side.
The running header must start from the cover page and must not exceed more than 50 characters.
APA style requires a Times New Roman style and font size is standard 12 and each word should have double-space.
