UW STEM Research Grants

In summer 2025, Seattle Branch began collaborating with UW Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences DEOHS (School of Public Health) on STEM research in critical areas that had their funds cut by DOGE.  The funds provided by AAUW allow a graduate student to finish her studies despite the cuts.  The professor (an AAUW member) will mentor the student, who will provide a presentation or report to Seattle Branch upon conclusion of her research.  You can find more details on the collaboration here.

The branch plans to grow this program over the coming year by reaching out to other STEM departments at the University.  Strengthening our relationship with our state’s flagship university is one more way to carry out the AAUW mission in our community.  By doing so, we also hope to make significant gains in attracting new younger members to our branch who can grow to be a part of our future leadership.
