> personal contacts.

> *Step 2: *Conduct your search for sponsors. Look for and identify

> *Step 3:* Acquire guidelines, applications & forms from potential

> *Step 4:* Make an appointment with HSU Sponsored Programs (X4189) if

> *Step 7:* Complete HSU's Institutional Routing and Authorization Form
