Notes:

Note 1: Format used for proposals submitted to industry.

Note 2: If the document is stapled, do not use our standard cover and title pages. Most letter proposals will not have a cover or title page but will begin with a letter stapled to the remaining proposal.

Note 3: Every proposal must have the proposal no. appearing on the front cover of the document for tracking purposes.

Note 4: A Contractual Information section is needed only if there has not been a form provided within the proposal for the address and the signature of the Director of Sponsored Programs (Mr. D. W. Jennings). All proposals submitted must have this information. Letter proposals do not need a contractual information section if the address and signature of the Director of Sponsored Programs is included on the letter of submission.
