Are signatures required on letters of intent (LOI)?
Letters of Intent (LOI) require signatures under certain circumstances. Many agencies use a two-stage application process—a letter of intent (LOI) followed by a full proposal or application. The Research Services Office reviews and signs LOIs only if • the agency requests a University of Alberta signature; the LOI may result in an award, e.g., a development grant to help prepare the full proposal or an institutional application (i.e., the University is the applicant not the individual researcher).
