Department Access |
Departments are not automatically notified when new human subjects applications are submitted and they do not automatically get access to the department’s portfolio of studies. Department administrators can email hsdinfo@uw.edu to request read-only access for studies in their department. Requests must come from the overall department administrator or department-wide manager. |
See Department Access for more information on setting up this process |
