  2. Include the date of endorsement of the CC and UC in the upper right-hand corner of the main proposal, whichever is applicable. (ex. CC 3 Sep 20221 UC 10 October 2022)
  3. Include version number following the format below
    CC 1.0 for proposals endorsed by the CC for review of the OVPAA. If the OVPAA has further comments that require revisions, submit the revised proposal to OVPAA and change the version number to ‘CC 1.1 ‘ and so on.
