You are among a distinguished group of research leaders in one of the top research institutions in the world. The UW receives more federal research dollars than any other U.S. public university and is home to eight Nobel Prize winners; 19 MacArthur Fellows; numerous members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; and fellows in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and many other major awards. You are joining a university with a culture of collaboration and interdisciplinary research with opportunities for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Engagement<\/a>, external collaborations including industry, and internal collaborations with faculty from 184 departments and three UW campuses: Seattle, Tacoma, and Bothell.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of Research aims to create an outstanding climate of support for UW researchers to enable innovation and impact. On this site, you will find support resources to orient you to research at the UW, whether you are new to research, new to the UW, or both.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Started in Research at the UW<\/h2>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44741 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Z Yan Wang (she\/her) microscope\" width=\"104\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope-375x563.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZYW_microscope.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 104px) 100vw, 104px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nResearch at the UW happens everywhere, from classrooms to far-flung remote sites, through mentored research experiences for undergraduates and graduate students, to multi-institutional, interdisciplinary extramural funded research.
