Q. I am a graduate student interested submitting a pre-proposal for the GREAT
Training Grant. I would be proposing to work with a team of three faculty on my project. Can I name all three sponsors, since I
will be advised by each of them throughout my project? Or if only two should be named as sponsors, can the third be named as a
mentor?
A. You may name two sponsors (the primary sponsor is our contact person) and two
mentors. Sponsors with less oversight than others may be designated as a mentor. |

Q. Do all sponsors have to be faculty at a UC? Is it sufficient that Dr. XXXX
is an adjunct professor at the UC?
A. We ask that a sponsor be an outstanding member of the University of
California (UC) and/or the UC-administered national laboratories' scientific research community. Therefore, Dr. XXXX qualifies
since he holds an academic appointment as adjunct professor at the UC. Use his UC appointment title and contact information on
the faculty sponsor's pre-proposal form since all sponsors must be named and must provide a signature. |

Q. Where is the signature page? My sponsors are at different campuses and it
will take awhile to get the necessary signatures.
A. Once you submit your pre-proposal, you will receive a message confirming the
submission and directions to print the signature page. For multi-campus submissions, you may send individual signature pages.
That is, the signatures do not have to be on one page.
