Department of Immunology

The Principal Investigator on a grant must be a faculty member at the University of Washington with the title of Acting Instructor or higher. 1. Acting Instructors must have a letter on file with the Dean’s Office from the Chair. The Chair’s letter states his/her support of grant applications (see attached). 2. Postdoctoral fellows can also submit fellowships; his/her mentor’s name appears as the Sponsor on the application. If a postdoctoral fellow is pursuing a faculty position and wishes to submit a grant, the Chair must write a letter to the Dean’s Office in support of the application (see attached). The faculty member or postdoctoral fellow meet with the Administrator at least three-four weeks prior to the grant deadline to review the required forms and establish the budget. Please see the following attachments for detailed information about commonly required forms.
