How to Add a Keyword to a Proposal

Keywords are used in the WVU+kc system for reporting purposes, and usually identify a type of research or topic of interest. Each Proposal Development document must have at least one keyword attached before it can be saved and processed.

Add a keyword to your Proposal Development document:

1. On the Proposal tab, navigate to the Keywords section at the bottom of the page.

2. Click the magnifying glass icon in the Add row. A new box or window will appear on top of the Proposal page.

3. In the new window, click any checkboxes next to keywords (topics) that apply to this project. 

   • You can use the search fields at the top to highlight words or related topics in the list.

   • Some categories of keywords contain sub-categories; click the Expand All button at the top of the box to see all sub-categories.

   • If no keywords match your project, choose Other as your keyword.

4. Once you have selected one or more keywords for this project, click the Return Selected button to add them to your Proposal page.

   • You will see each selected keyword listed in the Keywords section on the Proposal page.

   • If you need to remove a selected keyword, click the corresponding checkbox for that keyword in the Actions column to select it, then click the Delete Selected button to remove the keyword.
