Ideally submit the LOI form 4 weeks before your proposal is due and at least a week before you submit the ePCF (Office of Sponsored Programs' electronic Proposal Clearance Form) so any questions or concerns can be resolved early. This DocuSign form is to be filled on-line.
Note:  The LOI is required for all external sources of funds payable to the institution on your behalf (e.g. including subawards, but not private consulting arrangements that bypass MSU).  LOIs also should be submitted for internal MSU grants except those invited by the EHHD Dean, or those submitted through the Department Head and Dean (such as Faculty Excellence Grants).
