- <span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All proposals must be submitted electronically via the [WWTF’s Funding Portal](https://fundingportal.wwtf.at/). The Funding Portal will automatically save your entries and changes. You can pause data entry at any time. All information will be available again upon your next login.</span>
- All core team members (i.e., coordinating PI and co-PIs) can contribute to and edit the proposal before its submission. However, only one person can edit the proposal in the Funding Portal at any time.

<p class="callout warning">Please note that only the coordinating PI (PI&amp;C) can submit the proposal.</p>

- <span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All sections of the proposal must be written in English.</span>
- <span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The length of the proposal is determined by character counts (including spaces) and page limits in case of uploads in the Funding Portal.</span>
- <span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The full proposal will be assessed by **experts in the specific topics of the proposal**. These experts will provide written assessments for the jury panel, whose collective expertise covers a range of topics in this call. </span>

<p class="callout info"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Please write the full proposal in a way that allows assessment by both expert reviewers and a broad high-level jury panel.</span></p>
