Compliance agreement documents require the stamp of the institution’s top person. In the case of a university or college the top person is the president, not the dean. When research institutions are national or municipal organizations, such institutions concluding research contracts are obliged to implement necessary budgetary measures before entering research contracts for which they are responsible. Please confirm with your institution and contact JST before submitting.
