Submitting a Proposal

A proposal can be submitted using the icons located on the main proposal page where all of your proposals are listed in a table. Several icons can be located for each proposal to the right of the proposal ID in the first column of the table. The submit/withdraw icon is the last icon in the list. Clicking the submit icon starts a two step process: (1) your proposal will be validated; and (2) your proposal will be submitted for refereeing. Any errors detected during validation will be displayed.

There also exists several other icons to the left of the submit/withdraw icons. Here you may delete, validate (without submitting), copy, or print a proposal. Printing a proposal will pop-up a pdf copy of the proposal that can either be saved or sent to the printer for a hardcopy.
