The Stanford University Proposal Routing Form (SU-42) is the tool Stanford uses to collect the information it needs to submit a sponsored project proposal. It is also the form used to document the necessary approvals of the proposal.

In May 2007, the Office of Sponsored Research introduced a
NEW SU-42 form for the entire campus. The form, along with instructions, samples, and other related information is on the ORA web site at
