- OSP CLAHS Cover Sheet
The new OSP Policy effective July 1, 2005, states that proposal submission forms to be submitted to the OSP will require only two signatures, that of the PI and the respective Dean. The policy further states that where the individual unit requires it, additional signatures may be needed. The College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences will continue to require ALL persons formerly identified as being required for approval of submission of the proposal to OSP. Specifically, all PI's, co-PI's, their respective department heads (and/or Director if the proposal is submitted through a center or similar unit), and respective Dean(s) will be required on all proposals on which CLAHS faculty are participating as researchers. A page with signatures must be included with the proposal with all appropriate signatures before a signature from the CLAHS Dean's Office will be provided. This is that Cover Sheet. - OSP Cover-Sheet Instructions:
