<span id="docs-internal-guid-1165340c-4673-a520-8950-448198e22a4f"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gaining academic permission to innovate on campus is one of the main challenges to overcome. It is impossible to gain permission without the approval of the administration to the student project or innovation group. Going directly to the top of the school's admisistration administration may not result in any progress. A single student proposing an idea is a small voice and does likely not convice the insitituion to spend large, or even small amounts of money on the project. The best method is to start from the bottom with graduate students, lab instructors, or instructors. Teaming with other students and working up will create a large pyramid of support and show the insitition the students are serious. It may not even be necessary to obtain academic approval depending on the project. Getting a strong start and being able to show some good data is a great way to gain permission.</span></span>
= Support =
<span id="docs-internal-guid-1165340c-467c-aed6-a26b-6f10d6b2598e"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The first and most important tip for those faced with the problem of having to overcome institutional resistance is to not be discouraged. As cliche as it may sound, if there is a will there is a way. Remember to focus on the goal of innovation and understand that getting the approval of administration can be a lengthy process. In the mean time, keep communication open with faculty and administration, find support from fellow students, encourage innovation events and organizations, and call in help from supporters in the community and fellow innovators.</span></span>
