Streamlined MOU Process: Reduced Administrative Burden and Clarified Responsibilities
Policy revised to create less administrative burden, allow faculty to sign simple MOUs where the template can be used, and clarifies that the MOU is between the unit and the external party.
Memoranda of Understanding and Letters of Intent
This policy does not apply to sponsor funding announcements that require a Letter of Intent with a project description for the sponsor to review and determine which investigators will be invited to submit a full proposal. These types of LOIs are allowable and do not require special approval.
