The University of Washington Seattle Campus hosts a number of resources critical for researchers in the School of Nursing. Key resources include:
UW Office of Research
The Office of Research is led by the Vice Provost for Research and oversees three administrative units: Human Subjects Division (HSD), Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), and Office of Research Information Services (ORIS). The UW Office of Research is home to University research policies and the Grants Information Memorandum (GIM) policies.
Investigator Funding
The Office for Nursing Research supports faculty research through the provision of three funding programs, all of which aim to increase the likelihood of extramural funding support and grant approvals.
Facilities and Research Space
The ONR manages 8,727 sq cubic feet of research space and offers state of the art, comprehensive research laboratory services for clients in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, as well as research space in the SoN to conduct studies. Our expertise covers biochemical assays, sample preparation/collection methods and analysis (obtained from spectrophotometric data and PCR plate arrays). The team also provides assessment and scoring of heart rate variability data and sleep and physical activity actigraphy scoring. Visit the Laboratory Services page to learn more.
Human Subjects Division
The Human Subjects Division (HSD) is a service and compliance unit within the Office of Research. It is the core of the UW’s Human Research Protection Program and it manages the four Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review and oversee UW human subjects research.
CoMotion
CoMotion partners with the UW community on their innovation journey, providing tools, connections, and acumen to transform ideas into economic and societal impact. Investigators working with patents and intellectual property should reach out to CoMotion.
Institute of Translational Health Sciences
The Institute of Translational Health Sciences is dedicated to speeding science to clinic practice for the benefit of patients and communities throughout Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho, (WWAMI) and beyond. ITHS promotes this translation of scientific discovery to practice by fostering innovative research, cultivating multi-disciplinary research partnerships, and ensuring a pipeline of next generation researchers through robust educational and career development programs.
Grant Library
The Grant Library is a collection of grants that serve to provide faculty with successful examples of a variety of funders and mechanisms. The current grant examples highlight recently awarded proposals from SoN investigators and collaborators.
Templates and Checklists
ONR’s templates and checklists with embedded timelines are used by pre-award staff, department reviewers, faculty, and ONR to assist in the preparation and review of grant proposals in the School of Nursing. PIs should work with their pre-award staff to adapt proposal timelines specific to their submission deadlines. Templates include budget, facilities and resources, biosketch, and other support templates, among others.
All School of Nursing proposals require a detailed budget attached to the eGC1.
Either use one of the Excel spreadsheets below or the SAGE Budget Module. The budget spreadsheets are Excel files and must be saved after they are opened. You may customize the workbook for the correct number of years, subcontracts, or budget forms. The budget templates are updated quarterly and include any changes to:
- F&A Rates
- Fringe Benefits
- Mileage Rates
- Tuition Rate

Facilities and Resources Template
Recommended by the NIH, SciENcv is an NCBI/NIH tool that allows researchers to store Biosketches and Other Support electronically and eliminates the need to repeatedly re-create them. SciENcv automatically formats Biosketches and reduces administrative burden and errors
All checklists with embedded timelines are used by pre-award staff, department reviewers, and ONR to assist in the preparation and review of grant proposals in the School of Nursing. PIs should work with their pre-award staff to adapt proposal timelines specific to their submission deadlines.

UW Medicine Data Warehouse/Leaf
Leaf is a tool available to UW investigators that provides access to identifiable and de-identified data from UW’s electronic health system. ONR can help facilitate obtaining leaf access for SoN investigators by applying for AMC accounts, which are needed prior to accessing Leaf. Researchers interested in access to identified data must have an approved IRB for human subjects research.
DEI in Research Tool Kit
ONR’s DEI Tool Kit was developed to provide investigators with resources that guide the design, implementation, and completion of research projects that are equitable and just. These resources serve as a starting point for investigators to develop their own research practices that reflect the values of equity that are expected in the School of Nursing. The DEI Tool Kit contains resources for each stage of a research study. ADD LINK (still current?) https://research.nursing.uw.edu/research-resources/dei-in-research-toolkit/
