Please consult your institutional research services regarding the person mandated to sign the proposals and allow sufficient time to obtain their signature. 

• The Funding Portal automatically suggests a name, you can change and edit this name in the online form. This information will be included in the PDF to be signed.

• Signatures may be provided in various formats:
  • Add a scanned or physical signature, and upload the form; or
  • Insert an electronic signature (e.g., A-Trust, Handysignatur) and upload the form. Please note that electronically signed PDFs cannot be merged into a single document.

Signatures from the VRG candidate and the proponent are not required in this way. Consent to the proposal submitted is given via "affirmations" in the Funding Portal profiles.
