Proposal Development Resources
Cover Page/Title Page
The proposal cover page or title page
allows you to present your proposal to the agency in a
standardized manner to simplify processing and review.
Follow the instructions carefully; fill in all of the
blanks. Some agencies, such as the National Institutes
for Health (NIH), and the National Science Foundation
(NSF) will reject a proposal if the title is one space
too long or the font type is the wrong size. The title
is very important. It should be descriptive, brief and
easy to remember.
When an agency does not use a specific cover or title
page, a generic cover form should be used which provides
much of the same basic information. A cover/title page
should include the title of the project, the sponsor's
name and address, the principal investigator's (PI)
name and address, the Office of Research Services'
address and the authorizing official/contact's name,
the amount requested, the dates of the project, and the
date submitted. Some sponsors may request additional information.
If the sponsor requires a signed cover/title page, then
signature lines for the PI and authorized official should
be added at the bottom of the page.
