The electronic approval process in the SAGE system is as follows:
The principal investigator's electronic approval.
The Chair may approve an eGC-1 as the P.I. and as the Chair. Escalated eGC-1 will require chair or administrator’s electronic approval.
The Division Head's electronic approval is required for the Departments of Medicine and Surgery. Contact departments for instructions.
The Chair's electronic approval.
The Chair's designee may also approve grant applications. The Chair may authorize, in e-mail or writing, a designee (associate chair, administrators, grant managers) prior to routing.
The electronic approval from the Chairs and Deans of all participating faculty, including joint department Chairs and Deans.
Participating faculty may be co-investigators or collaborators, indicating some percent of research effort, and may or may not be requesting salary.
Faculty consulting with no effort and no salary do not require Chair approval.
Information regarding internal business processes of departments is available at the UW Medicine's Department Directory.
The electronic approval is required from selected Directors of Centers and Institutes in the School of Medicine where space and resources are used. Examples are:
Washington Regional Primate Research Center
Center on Human Development and Disability (CHDD)
Virginia Merrill Bloedel Hearing Research Center
