Completing and submitting an application

Modified on Tue, 15 Aug, 2023 at 11:46 AM

A draft application will be created when you click on the apply button or you will open one that was created when you were invited to apply.

You will need to fill in all the required information and submit the application form before the deadline.

Navigating the application form

You can navigate through the form by using the tabs at the top.

You can also use the back and next buttons at the bottom of the page.

Filling in the application fields

You will need to ensure that you complete all required on-screen fields. These fields come in several types, as outlined below:

Field type	What is required
Mandatory	Mandatory fields are indicated by a red asterisk (*). You can leave a mandatory field blank while an application is in draft, however all mandatory fields must be complete before clicking ‘submit’
Dropdown menu	Select one of the options available from the dropdown menu
Free-text	Word limits are applied to free-text fields – please note if copying and pasting only words up to the maximum wordcount limit will be copied into the field. Any extra words will NOT be copied.
Tick-box	Select one of the options available from the tick boxes available on screen.
Numeric	Only numeric characters (i.e. no commas, full stops or symbols) should be used in these fields.
Auto-Populated	Some fields will already be auto-populated. You cannot amend such fields.
Template uploads	Where a template is provided, it MUST be used to submit an application. Any deviation will invalidate the proposal. Before writing your proposal, take note of the specified file format and page limits of the uploads.

Save frequently

Submit your application

When you are ready, use the Submit Application button at the bottom of the page to submit the application.
