Description
Summary:The main purpose of this project is to design and develop a web-based Research Grant Call Distribution System, which helps the user to gather people who are interested in participating certain specific research work. This system will be the main platform used by the research centers or schools to manage and distribute grant call information. The system will have four different types of user: Research Support Office user, School Research Office user, School Faculty user and Administrator. Research Support Office user will post related information about the grant call on the system and the system will distribute the information to School Research Office user and School Faculty user for further follow up action. This web-based project is developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, PHP and MySQL. A cross-platform web server solution stack package called XAMMP which has Apache Server, PHP and MySQL is required to implement the system. At the end of this project, the final product is a stable and complete system, which fulfills the requirements of the project. For further improvement, the system can be implemented as an application on the smartphone to achieve better usage as it is much more convenient for the user as most of us have a smartphone.
