Our office of Corporate and Foundation Relations is asking our administration to
now take charge of all grant proposals concerning sponsored programs and
research submitted to all private sources, including of course foundations and
corporations,  They have stated that they do not use any approval or sign-off
procedures in the submission of proposals.  We in the grants office have many
concerns about this request, but Corporate and Foundation Relations state
that this is standard procedure at other institutions, especially at private
institutions elsewhere.  We would appreciate hearing how grants proposals are
handled at your institution between the grants/sponsored programs office and
the development/corporate and foundation relations office.  If you would
prefer to contact me individually, you may contact me at xxxxxx@shu.edu.
Thank you very much!
