Finance questions

Navigation

Q. How do I get back to a section I want to view again?
The sections of the application are listed at the top of the application (Details - Descriptions - Budget & sustainability etc.). You can move to any section in the application form at any time by clicking on the section name.
 

Number of pages

Q. How many sections do I have to complete?
There are 7 compulsory pages to be completed (Details - Description - Budget & sustainability - Governance - Consortium - Attachments - Review my application).

In addition, you may complete details for up to 15 consortium members. The consortium details must match the total number of members identified in Q.14 in the section "Consortium".

However, if there are more than 15 members involved, please submit this application including details of 15 representative core members with the strongest commitment (in terms of involvement of time, expertise or resources) and who provide your consortium with the widest representation.

Budget

Q. Where can I find the budget and DED spreadsheets?
Please download and save the Budget and DED spreadsheets here. Please complete the details, save and attach to your application on the "Attachments" section.
Please note: You will need information from the budget spreadsheet in order to answer Q.8 on the "Budget & sustainability" section of the application form.    

Sharing with colleagues

You may print your application by clicking the "Printer friendly version" in the top right-hand corner of the page.

Before submitting to Genio you may email a draft version of your application to up to 10 colleagues by clicking on the "Email draft" link on the top right-hand corner of the application. This may be useful for collaborating with colleagues.

You may prefer to prepare the content of the more detailed/descriptive questions in Microsoft Word first. You can then copy and paste the content into the application. However, the application only accepts plain text. Therefore any formatting such as words in bold or italics will only be input as plain text.

Saving

You can save your application by clicking the "Save and finish later" button. You can then log out and return to the application at a later time.

WARNING: If you click on the EXIT button without saving first, you will lose any new information.  

Review & submit

When you have completed the application you should go to "Review my application" to ensure all the fields are completed correctly. This is your final opportunity to make appropriate amendments. Click the "Submit" button when you are satisfied that the application is complete.
   

Word count

Some answer fields have a maximum word count allocated, which is clearly stated on the field. There is a word counter which allows you to see how many words you have used. If you go over the word count allocation the counter turns red. You need to reduce your count to the allocation as you will be unable to submit the application.
