T32 CAM Research Training Grant Funded by NIH/NCCAM
A large university with approximately 35,000 students, the University of Washington places a major commitment on research. It is consistently ranked as one of the nation's top research and teaching institutions:
Has ranked among the top five institutions in the nation for receipt of federal awards since 1969.
Ranked second in federal support (behind only The Johns Hopkins University) in 1998, the most recent year for which data is available.
Has ranked number one public university in America for receiving federal support for research and training since 1974.
Received over $650 million in public and private grant and contract support for research and training in fiscal year 2000.
As such, the UW houses a wide range of experts in various fields as well as allied support service personnel, and state-of-the-art research equipment to accommodate the full spectrum of experimental methodologies.
Research projects supported by this grant will utilize the clinical and basic research facilities of the health sciences complex to which UW faculty preceptors have access. Shared resources such as spectral labs, core DNA and protein sequencing facilities (with all standard protein and DNA databases available), and other core biochemistry, histochemistry and microbiological laboratories are also part of the health sciences complex.
In addition to the core facilities, each of the UW faculty involved in the research training program have their own laboratories or clinical facilities which are equipped to conduct their particular experiments and studies. These facilities range in size from 700-1,400 square feet.
