Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] LOI needed

I have a question. A PI wants to collaborate with 2 research
organizations i.e., American Heart Association and an organization that
deals with bipolar disorders. The deadline for submitting is 6/13.  I
asked her to get LOIs and she doesn't want to do it. She says she'll do
it later if the grant gets funded. I don't like the idea of committing
or promising to commit an organization without the LOI and budget.

Can you offer any suggestions? I appreciate your advice.

Better early preparation than late hurry.
