UW Research

Account Creation for Fred Hutch Employees

Beginning July 1, 2023, all new studies that are:

  • Led by a Fred Hutch PI, and
  • Reviewed by the Fred Hutch IRB, and
  • Which engage UW in the research activities,

must obtain authorization from HSD for review by submitting a request in Zipline prior to the Fred Hutch IRB issuing its approval for the portion of the research engaging UW.

To submit a request in Zipline, you will need a UW NetID, and then to self-register in Zipline.

Follow the instructions based on your situation:
