IV. STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION AND FILING GUIDE

1. Data Preparation: Ensure all bracketed fields are replaced with precise data. Avoid vague terminology. For "Mathematical Field," specify sub-disciplines (e.g., "Non-linear Differential Equations" rather than "Math").

2. Formatting for Submission:

• Microsoft Word: Use the "Replace All" function (Ctrl+H) to systematically swap bracketed placeholders. Ensure font consistency (Times New Roman, 12pt is recommended for formal registry standards).
• Google Docs: Use "Find and Replace" (Ctrl+H). Once populated, navigate to File > Download > PDF Document (.pdf) to lock the structure.

3. Verification of Authority: Verify that the signatory for the Sponsoring Institution possesses the legal capacity to bind the institution to financial and IP obligations defined in Section 3 and 4.

4. Record Retention: Upon signing, generate three (3) original counterparts.

• Copy A: Retained by the PI for the working research file.
• Copy B: Deposited with the Sponsoring Institution's Office of Sponsored Programs.
• Copy C: Digitally archived in the Registry’s secure, immutable repository.

5. Final Compliance: All mathematical research must be cross-referenced with the relevant institutional ethics and data privacy policies. Ensure all external data sources cited in Section 2.2 are properly licensed.
