<p>Hi all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our institution has a couple of collaborators that we would
like to recognize as researchers affiliated with our natural
history collection. Does anyone have a policy or
suggestions on how your institution grants or determines who
can be an official affiliate of the collection/museum? </p>
<p> </p>

The universities I've been associated with all have explicit
policies, mostly purely bureaucratic, as to formal designation of
affiliation (sometimes subdivided into even finer categories);
without giving exact details, mostly a matter of people up to the
level of the department chairman signing off on a series of forms,
and often a letter by the applicant. If your institution really has
no formal policy in place (which seems surprising if true), you have
an opportunity to help formulate a policy at its inception, which
could be great, but also considerably MORE effort, in the end, than
dealing with an existing policy.<br>

Peace,<br>
