From the NIH Extramural Nexus: The Do’s & Don’ts of Hyperlinks in Grant Applications
The do’s and don’ts of hyperlinks in grant applications are simple:
- Do include hyperlinks when explicitly requested in application guide, funding opportunity, or NIH Guide notice instructions
- Do use hyperlinks in relevant citations and publications included in biosketches and publication list attachments
- Don’t use hyperlinks anywhere else in your application
- When allowed, you must hyperlink the actual URL text so it appears on the page rather than hiding the URL behind a specific word or phrase. Example: NIH (http://www.nih.gov/)
