Our Mission
As an urban-serving university, the UW Tacoma aims to "foster scholarship, research, and creativity to address the challenging problems of our time and place."

Within this framework, the Office of Research in collaboration with campus partners aims to:
- Work with faculty to identify funding opportunities for individual research interests as well as high priority areas as identified by our campus leadership and community partners.
- Support the full proposal development and submission process
- Support faculty scholarship and professional development
- Provide research administration support to Research Centers such as the Center for Urban Waters

After three decades at UW Tacoma, Associate Professor Cheryl Greengrove has helped build science programs, mentor generations of students and study the changing waters of the Salish Sea. Now, an unusual bloom of harmful algae in Hood Canal has presented a new mystery: one that challenges what scientists thought they knew about a toxin-producing organism called Alexandrium. For Greengrove, the unanswered questions are exactly what make the work worthwhile.
