1.2 Long Title

The Long Title is for proposal titles that are more than 256 characters.

• If you do not enter a Long Title, the Project Title will default in the Long Title field after you save the PAF.
  • It helps with searches in the eRPM data set that every project has a Long Title.
• If you later change the Project Title, make sure to update your Long Title.

For project titles more than 256 characters:

• Abbreviate the title in the Project Title field
  and
• Capture the full proposal title in the Long Title field.
  
  TIP: Spell out uncommon acronyms and abbreviations that would be unknown to the average lay person.
  
  For example, to anyone in the arthritis field, JRA is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, but a lay person might not be familiar with that abbreviation.
