University of Washington Tacoma at University of Washington

• At UW Tacoma, students learn in small classes, getting to know their faculty while participating in research and service projects. 
• First-year students complete an innovative core curriculum, which blends different fields of study into interdisciplinary classes. Courses might mix art and ecology, or business and social science. 
• The result is a rich learning environment where students are encouraged to challenge themselves.

Within this framework, the Office of Research in collaboration with campus partners aims to:

• Work with faculty to identify funding opportunities for individual research interests as well as high priority areas as identified by our campus leadership and community partners.
• Support the full proposal development and submission process
• Support faculty scholarship and professional development
• Provide research administration support to Research Centers such as the Center for Urban Waters
• Provide guidance on the Research Lifecycle to all active faculty researchers and staff across the UW Tacoma campus
