   1. If pre-approval from OVPR is required, submit the Nonemployee Research Affiliate Request for new or renewing nonemployee research affiliate appointments. Note: Pre-approval is not required for renewals when the research affiliate is continuing in the same position, and there has been no break in service greater than 6 months.
      1. UT Sponsor: Faculty member who is sponsoring the visitor.
      2. UT Organization Host: Department Chair. If the Department Chair is the UT Sponsor, then the Host will be Assoc. Dean Rob Crosnoe.

         3. Enter the information you have available (address, former university/employer, etc.,) but most importantly the country of citizenship. 
         4. In the Comment section, add the visitor's name/EID, department, and the name of the sponsoring professor.  (This is important because Visual Compliance retains these searches and will send you an email if that person (or a person with a similar name) gets added to any of the lists and having that reference is useful.)
         5. You can search first by using Fuzzy Logic 2.
         1. 1. If there are no problems, you can proceed. 
            2. If there is a hit, the next step is to search using an Exact Match.  Make sure you double check the spelling.

      3. Save your search results as a PDF.
