A keyword is a term that describes the discipline of a sponsored project (for example, sustainable agriculture or children's literature).
Keywords are associated with a specific sponsored project proposal and they help to identify the type of research project being conducted. Knowing the topic of a proposal may provide reports about an institution’s research and sponsored projects enterprise.
Selecting the "Add" button opens the Select Keyword Code table window. The Keywords lookup references the institutionally maintained Keywords Table. (Maintenance > Shared > Keywords).
