In addition to the appropriate identification of the Principal Investigator (or Project Director), the Department Head and the Dean, the University address below should be used on cover sheets and elsewhere, as appropriate, in grant and contract proposals to be submitted to outside sponsors by Western Kentucky University Research Foundation.
