Diversity in Research

Diversity is integral to the success of our research and embedded in the culture of who we are as an institution and employer. Consistent with UW Executive Order No. 81, the Office of Research is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and welcoming community for all. 

• We affirm the UW policy of equal opportunity regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, or status as a protected veteran.  

• We value diversity in research, in terms of the broad portfolio of research and scholarship at UW, in the inter-disciplinary work that leads to innovation, and in the equity-centered approaches that underpin excellence and aim to serve the public good. 

• We value the experiences and perspectives of our colleagues, and nurture an accessible, welcoming and respectful environment for all Office of Research staff and everyone in the UW research community. 

• We review our services and systems regularly and adapt them to reflect the evolving environments and work styles of our staff and those we serve.
