Welcome to Research at UW Tacoma

Our Mission

As an urban-serving university, the UW Tacoma aims to "foster scholarship, research, and creativity to address the challenging problems of our time and place."  Our collective Scholarship mission as included in our 2022-27 Strategic Plan is to expand and support a broad range of teaching, research, and creative innovation.

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
