Mock study section for K-awards and first R01s coming soon.
Mentor Training Program
Our longitudinal mentor training program is an interactive, multi-session course designed to develop skills essential to mentoring across research, education, and clinical care.
Pre- and post awards
Pre- and post-award grant administration support
Central pre- and post-award grant administration support is arranged through your division administrator. Contact your DA to coordinate with Dana Panteleeff. Service level descriptions anticipated to be published in 2026.
Data and analytics
Research Collaboratory
The Allergy & Infectious Diseases and Department of Medicine Research Collaboratory (ARC) has three core aims that encapsulate our mission:
- To advance knowledge that optimizes how we care for our patients, using data analytics.
- To leverage the power of electronic health record (EHR) and understand how to use these data wisely.
- To foster a learning health system that trains junior investigators to harness these data into actionable insights.
Research Dashboard
The Department of Medicine research dashboard provides visual representation and summative data on research grants proposals and awards submitted and obtained by faculty within the UW Department of Medicine. The data can be visualized by individual PIs, divisions or the entire department.
(NOTE: UW Net ID required to access both the dashboard and intranet. VPN required for remote/non-UW internet connections.)

Clinical Trials
Clinical trials recruitment support service
Co-led by Dr. Crystal Brown, assistant professor (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine) the UW Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) Recruitment Support Service (RSS) offers free consultations to investigators every Wednesday to help with recruitment retention and representation goals. Consultations focus on study design, implementation strategies, recruitment and retention planning, and budget development.
The RSS consult team will review both your proposal and the context of implementation to identify the characteristics of participants likely to be reached, enrolled, and retained, and strategies to meet representation goals.
Diversity in Clinical Trials
The Diversity in Clinical Trials Initiative aims to enhance the representation of historically underrepresented communities among clinical study participants. It ensures that medical treatments and interventions are effectively studied across diverse populations, leading to more equitable healthcare outcomes for all individuals and better medicine.
The University of Washington is taking this opportunity to review and revise our clinical trial policies with deeper and more comprehensive diversity criteria to usher in a new era of inclusive medical research.
Scholarship Awards
Chair of Medicine Scholar Awards
The Chair of Medicine Scholars Awards, initiated in 2013, are awarded annually to meritorious University of Washington Department of Medicine trainees to foster their transition to the roles of physician-scientist and principal investigator.
Equity Academic Scholar Awards
