What do you mean "django won't allow me to directly link to an external
website"? Django doesn't care what links you include on your pages. In the
example you give you are specifying "researchproject.website" as an href.
That's a relative link, so when you click on it the browser will request the
linked page from the same server where it got the page containing the link.
If you want to link to an entirely different site, you need to specify your
href value to reflect that, something more like:
<a href="http://researchproject.website";>{{ researchproject.institution
}}</a>
