How do you track the information about your proposals submitted?  Do
 they just send you a copy for your records?  Do you require that a
 person with institutional signature power sign the proposal?  What
 makes them legal and under university jurisdiction if not?

** High Priority **

We at Old Dominion redesigned our routing process to eliminate the
signature of the VP for Research on Standard Proposals.  Standard being
those with "no strings' attached, no reduction in IDC requested, etc.
Standard proposals require only the signatures of PIs, Chairs, and Deans,
which are usually easier and quicker to obtain than the VP's.
