At Florida State University:

For proposals, allSponsored Research Services administrators sign
proposals on behalf of the VPR--that is, they sign the VPR's name and
put their initial below it--once they have sufficient
training/experience.

For awards, the Director, Associate Director, Assistant Director, and
Coordinator have powers of attorney to sign on behalf of the
VPR/University.

Staff in the FSU Research Foundation have similar authority.

We have no dollar threshhold.

Happy Friday!

We are in the process of searching for a new Vice Provost for Research
and the issue of proposal/grant/contract signing is being discussed.
Would the good people of RESADM-L share the protocol that your
institutions follow with respect to who is authorized to sign
proposals, etc. and if there
is a dollar threshold basis to determine who can and can't sign?
