The Year in Review
2008 Annual Report (pdf)
A few highlights of the second annual report of research administration activities at UW Bothell include:
- The addition of the Center for Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) brought 30 active grants representing $14.1 million in total awards from 22 unique sponsors, and 32 grant-supported employees into the UW Bothell family on July 1, 2008.
- New infrastructure to support this growth in grants was developed in collaboration with the Finance & Administration (F&A) department. Pre-award activities will be focused in the Office of Research Support while post-award activities will be focused in F&A.
- The University of Washington reached a significant milestone in FY07, receiving over $1 billion in sponsored research. External funds support up to 60% of direct expenditures for instruction, research and other academic programs on average across the university. At UW Bothell and UW
Tacoma, the percent of external support is 4%.
