Preproposal Online Template
How to submit your preproposal
A preproposal is a brief and highly structured concept document, submitted on line between July 1 and July 23.
Before you submit, you should read the Guide to Preproposals, available in the box to your right. This guide will help you frame your ideas in a competitive and coherent way and explain the special requirements of outcome funding .
Word limitations
We also strongly advise that you write and edit your preproposal narratives in a word processing program, save your copy, and then cut and paste the final text to the template. This will help you keep within word limits and reduce errors. You will be able to print your final preproposal as a PDF document after you submit it.
You must observe the word limitations, so check word counts before pasting text into the template windows. Excess text will not be accepted.
Crafting a quality narrative is important; no words should be wasted given the limited space allowed.
