The search will return the records of the projects for the institution having the same full name or part name.

Your search terms

  • Any word in your the search terms must comprise only of alphabet characters (a-z, A-Z), dashes (-) or single quotation marks ('). Where the word is not a part of a full name or phrase in double-quotation marks, then it must contain at least four characters. Each word, full name or phrase in your search terms must be separated from its neighbour only by a 'space' and not by any punctuation mark.
     
  • Where any word is not a part of a full name or phrase in double quotation marks, appending an asterisk (*) to the word will add to your search terms any other word that begins with the word. For example, a search for parent* will also include searches for other relevent words, such as 'parents', 'parental', 'parenting' and 'parenthood', but also irrelevant words (for example, 'parenthesis').
