Charlie, One of our PI's (who has reviewed NIH construction grants before) insists that we should attach a letter of institutional commitment signed by our President. We don't see anywhere we could attach a letter and feel we should address this in the narrative section under Project Management and Institutional Commitment. Any thoughts?

A warning is OK so you may add more than 20 pages of tables and line drawings.
