Does your breakroom need a makeover? How about a team-building activity for your hardworking peers? Could your department use a meditation or yoga session? Then apply for a Well-Being Grant! 

UW Medicine is pleased to announce our second year of awarding Well-Being Grants. The spring 2024 Well-Being Survey demonstrated increased scores for professional fulfillment and decreases in burnout, yet more work must be done. Grants can be used to make meaningful changes at a local level.

These grants – made possible thanks to a generous donation of $250,000 – are provided to support the well-being of our community. Faculty, staff and trainees across UW Medicine (inclusive of administrative, clinical, education and research areas) are encouraged to apply for grants to fund activities, projects and process improvements that support well-being goals.
