Acceptable Formats for the Project Description

We will accept your project description part of your application as any one of

• plain text or html, typed or pasted into the text input part of the Web form.

• a URL reference from where we may load your html description over the web. If using this method, please do not reference other URL's from within your description.

• plain text or html as an uploaded file with the form.

• Word Document as an uploaded file with the form, OR, if you prefer, you may send us your documentation as attachments to an email to help@nf.nci.org.au. You should make a note in the Web application form that this is what you will be doing, and the email with attachments MUST identify the project unambiguously. Please quote in the email:
  • The project code or "NEW"
  • Principal Investigator Name
  • The complete title for the project

Creating HTML from other document formats

1. A LaTeX document is converted using the utility latex2html .
2. A Microsoft Word document can be "saved as" html

Bundling multiple HTML files for uploading

The supporting documentation for your project proposals should be self-contained WITHOUT links to external/other Web sources in any other than a reference context. All the text should be contained within a single html file, but if there are images these will need to be in separate files, with links to them in the main document.

We require that the various files which make up your proposal document all be bundled into the one file, preferably a tar file, or if tar is not available on your system, a stuffit or PKZip file.

Make sure the links to images will work

As we will be taking a copy of the html text and image files for your application, it is important that the links within your main html document to any images are relative path names only, not fully qualified URLs. e.g.

    <img src="prettypicture.gif">

will work, but

    <img src="http://yourwebserver.uni.edu.au/prettypicture.gif">

will cause problems for the committee trying to assess your application.
