Hi Emma
For what it's worth, I submitted proposals to two institutions and undertook email correspondence with them about the project - neither had any problem with that.
My take on the PhD process. Hope the below is of help.

Have you looked at suitable projects being offered by Universities with funding already in place, as this will save a lot of hassle for you in the long run?
Otherwise you're looking at submitting proposals, then trying to acquire funding should you be accepted. Self-funding is not an option unless you're rotten rich.
