Re: proposal review Paul Parker 23 May 1996 03:18 EST

 Martha, could you clarify what is meant by a "central university office?"
Are you talking about a campus office outside the academic unit that is
submitting the proposal, i.e. a research administrative office, or are you
talking about a campus that has its own administrative units but also has a
Central Office outside the individual campus?
