Achieving a more inclusive climate within the School of Medicine research community

The UW School of Medicine Office of Research and Graduate Education (RGE) is committed to assuring that the climate of the biomedical research community is welcoming and respectful of our diverse members.

To accomplish this, we created programs to help us achieve our shared goals of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

These programs focus on transforming our climate to be truly supportive of community members from diverse backgrounds.
