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

Note 4:  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.
