Based on this statement in the Instructions: "It is essential that provision be made that video data tagged with appropriate information be included in the data submissions", is it expected that every proposal will involve the taking of video? Or, is it meant that IF there is video as part of the data, it must be tagged with the appropriate information?

It is not expected that all proposals will involve video. If video data are included, then they must be tagged with the appropriate information.

While putting the RFP II proposal together, I noticed that the references need to be in the format used for the journal Science. We have three pages of references, most of which are journal articles with two or more authors. Surprisingly, such references need to have the full name of the authors per the Science instructions. Before we dedicate the time needed to doing this, I wanted to confirm that this is essential to the proposal process.

I plan to include figures in color and it is important the reviewers see these figures in color. Should I provide an external link where these figures can be seen in color? I understand that reviewers might print in black and white, but why can't they view these color figures on their monitor, directly from the proposal pages (which, I presume, will be provided electronically?). Are you providing reviewers with black and white hard copies?

One of our potential Co-PIs has done some consulting for an organization that is contracting for BP. Our proposed work and his role in it will have no financial or intellectual benefit to the company or to BP, so our institution does not consider it a conflict of interest, however, it would seem appropriate to declare it on the GoMRI COI. This work is 'outside' work, separate to his University affiliation.

In the Publication, Data, and Intellectual Property guidelines, it states that "the GRI AU will maintain or contract for public database of GRI research results (data and metadata), with data to be posted with minimum time delay." Does the AU have first right to publish all data before submission to public database?

We need more instructions on completing the online Upload of Proposal to Research Board. (1) Is it possible to see all the three steps of the online submission process? We can only see Step 1 of 3. A picture of the complete three steps will be helpful. (2) Are we able to save information entered before clicking the submit button? (3) Are we able to access the form at any time without losing the information entered before the deadline and before pressing "submit"?
