UW Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP): A unit of the Office of Research at the University of Washington, supports and advises the entire academic community in securing external support for sponsored projects and collaborations. 

The Human Subjects Division (HSD) provides administrative support, makes regulatory determinations and facilitates IRB review; assisting researchers throughout the process. Research involving human subjects must be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). At the UW, several IRB committees serve this function.

UW Grant and Contract Accounting (GCA): Assists the UW community by facilitating the post award financial aspects of sponsored programs, from budget set-up to close. Administrative Business Center (ABC) Services: The School of Medicine’s Administrative Business Center provides pre-award support for Primary Investigators for most grant mechanisms. Support includes: preparing funding applications, budget development, compliance review, JIT requests, and annual progress reports.
