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.

Is such a collaboration role allowed under the RFP-II rules?

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.
