About Site

The Emory Facilities and Resources Boilerplate Language Library is a centralized resource of up-to-date, reviewed language describing research and academic resources available at Emory for faculty, staff, and trainees.

 The primary intent of this resource is to provide reference template language to be used and personalized for writing grant proposals, progress reports, and other documents that need to highlight Emory's institutional environment. Intended users are investigators and other grant proposal or progress report writers. 

 

Users of the Emory Facilities and Resources Boilerplate Language Library can browse and search through categories and individual sections of language and view their content.* After login into the application using their Emory credentials, users can create and save custom lists for their particular purpose by selecting and ordering template sections available. Users can then preview the assembled list of sections and eventually download a Word document generated from their selection.

Tips for using the search bar:

•  In the Table of Contents tab, you can search key words in the “Filter by Title” or “Filter by Description” search bars, or choose from the “Category” dropdown.
• Searching in the Description bar will return more search results and return a hit for any pages that include key words.
• The dropdown “Filter by category” will allow you to see all pages associated with a specific school, research facility/core, or University-wide center, institute, or resource. You can also click on the yellow icon above each page title to view other pages in that category.

Create a Custom List for export into a compiled Word document:

1)       Click the gray dropdown button “Welcome, [user’s name]” in the upper right corner.

2)       Select “Manage Custom Lists”.

3)       Select “+ New Custom List”.

4)       Designate a name, then click “Create List”.

5)       Search and add the desired template selections to your List.

6)       Once finished, click the yellow “Download” button and all the added sections will export into a singular Word document.

a.       Prior to download, you will see a disclaimer about personalizing the language for a specific purpose.

*Questions about a specific template language section should be submitted to its associated content owner using the contact information listed at the bottom of each page. 

 

Administrative users ("content owners") of the Emory Facilities and Resources Boilerplate Language Library are institutional unit administrators who maintain one or more categories of language and their associated sections.

Content owners have access to the administrative portal of the application to create and update sections of language in a content editor and associate them to searchable categories.

Request administrative access:

This level of access is needed to include additional sections of language into the Library and only requires a few simple onboarding steps provided by Libraries and IT Services upon request at http://it.emory.edu/help.

 

Emory Office of Information Technology (OIT) maintains the Emory Facilities and Resources Boilerplate Language Library application. Issues and requests not related to specific template language should be reported through http://it.emory.edu/help.
