State: What you needed to do Persons interested in submitting a proposal shall follow the following steps: 1) Complete template and it to one of six members of the UT senior leadership in order to obtain official authorization label in order for the project to advance: Dr. Lloyd Jacobs, President; Rosemary Haggett, Main Campus Provost; Dr. Jeffrey Gold, Health Science Campus Provost; Scott Scarborough, Senior Vice President Finance; Charles Lehnert, Vice President Facility; and Frank Calzonetti, Vice President Research. Failure to obtain approval will threaten university support of the project at later stages. 2) Use “The University of Toledo authorizes….” as the beginning words of the narrative description. 3) Fill in all questions on the form as accurately as possible and submit the form to the State of Ohio. 4) Keep a copy of the submission and give an electronic AND hard copy to both the approving administrator and the Office of Government Relations (3510 University Hall, MS 926). 5) Keep the approving administrator and the Office of Government Relations informed of all correspondence from the State. Consideration 1) This is a State form. It is not a federal form. 2) The “job creation” category is very important and should be a realistic number. 3) Collaboration is encouraged. However, a project with collaborators is only submitted by one of the partners. If you are a partner but not submitting, inform your approving administrator and UT Government Relations of your participation. 4) Timing is critical. Please submit your abstracts to one of the six members of senior leadership by Wednesday, February 25, 2009.
