Welcome to UW Allies

The UW Allies program serves graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in basic science labs at UW. Allies are faculty volunteers who provide trainees with support during conflict with mentors and lab mates, assistance in navigating institutional barriers to success, and connection with institutional and community services. Allies stand in solidarity with trainees, so they don’t have to face challenges alone.

To request support from the Allies:
Graduate student and postdoctoral trainees can send an email to uwallies@proton.me to be matched with an Allies team. Please include a short description of the situation and indicate if there are any members of the Leadership group that you do not want involved so we can keep your information confidential.
