Hi All – regarding the collaborative letters/institutional commitment letters, if Appendix 7 is identical, that would mean all of our collaborating institutions have to have a copy of our institutional commitment
letter. Should we generate a letter and get it signed to send to our collaborators to be included in the “identical documents” packet prior to 3 days before 4.28th?
Hopefully, this question makes sense.
As an example, Case Western (one of my PI’s lead) has a deadline of getting a pdf template for identical documents by 4.20 to their collaborators.
