The word count program in my.rwjf.org counts some embedded HTML code that causes extra spaces --this is common with Microsoft Word.

You should need to delete just a few more characters.

Unfortunately, according to Robert Wood Johnson Foundation policies, we are not allowed to give feedback on previously submitted proposals. However, we have crafted a suite of resources to help applicants in developing their proposals.
Please visit our Website where you will find three podcasts that will help you think about what the expectations are for these proposals.
Also, once you register with the RWJF as an applicant you will be given access to two important papers that are pending publication which define the field of PHLR: “The PHLR Framework” and “Measuring Law for PHLR”.
Additionally, we have a Web Applicant Call scheduled for March 17, 2010.You can sign up for the call on our Website.
