We’ve been listening.. Message received is that there is dissatisfaction about the number of requests for sign off on applications and contracts. Solution we propose is a electronic sign-off – no need for wet signatures for internal purposes. Exceptions Where there is a requirement from the funding agency for a wet signature. where setting authority to spend on a research account and a copy of a signature is not already on the system.
