Pre-Award Naming Conventions

Important Note: Please note that these naming conventions are only intended for transactions of passing proposal files between unit proposal coordinators and OGCA. Faculty are not expected to use these naming conventions. OGCA only requests that a proposal being submitted via email use the naming convention of S#-Dept-PI Name somewhere in the subject line to facilitate easier tracking of the email, unless sponsor guidelines dictate another naming convention that takes precedence.
