1. Locate the institution’s website using either: The email address of the Principal Investigator provided in the abstract: (amhastings@ucdavis.edu ==> www.ucdavis.edu) or an internet search engine.
2. Locate the academic unit or department from which the grant emanates: you may search for academic departments at the University’s website, or use the University’s search engine to locate Dr. Alan Hastings web site.
