Instructions are located in the 'instructions_includes' folder of eSG. Instructions are call-specific, and the instructions set for each call is organized in a folder named for the call's database ID (e.g. 1,2,3,…; found in the 'Calls' layout of PM FMP).
PRE-PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
'instructions_prelim.php' is the core instructions page for submitting pre-proposals in eSG. Both the pre-proposal start page (index_prelim.php), and the printer-friendly, publicly-accessible version (index_pp_popup.php) include 'instructions_prelim.php'. If accessed via a public page, 'index_pp_popup.php' requires a query parameter for call ID (e.g. "index_pp_popup.php?call_id=1").
FULL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
'instructions.php' file is the core instructions page for submitting full proposals in eSG. 'justification_includes' folder holds files used in budget instructions and budget justification pop-ups. Both the full proposal start page (index.php), and the printer-friendly, publicly-accessible version (index_fp_popup.php) include 'instructions.php'. If accessed via a public page, 'index_fp_popup.php' requires a query parameter for call ID (e.g. "index_fp_popup.php?call_id=1").
JUSTIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Each call instructions set contains a set of budget justification includes. These instructions appear both in
core instructions pages and the justification pop-ups.
PEER REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS
Each call also use two embedded, call-specific peer review instructions includes that work just like the
call-specific instructions includes for the proposal interfaces. They are found in the same folder as the
proposal instructions includes, and correspond to instructions sections at the top and bottom of the
peer review interface
WHEN CREATING NEW CALLS
Whenever a new call is created in FMP, you need to create an instructions set for it. This is best accomplished by duplicating an existing instructions set (e.g. folders 1, 2, 3,…) that is most like what the new instruction set will become and then editing the new instructions files.
After duplicating an existing instructions set, name the new folder using the call's database ID (e.g. 1, 2, 3,…) found in the 'Calls' layout of FMP). Then, update the instructions files based on the hierarchy described above. For this step, you may want to simply print-out the call-specific, pop-up versions of the pre-proposal and full proposal instructions, and the call-specific peer review instructions, and offer these documents for revision by the research coordinator.
