Hello colleagues,



The Graduate School received current use funds from the Office of the
Provost that will be deployed to partner with academic units as we work
together to support continuing PhD students on grants that were
unexpectedly terminated in or since Spring Quarter 2025. The quarterly
disbursements will include tuition, benefits, and costing allocations in
Workday as appropriate.



The funding will be on a quarterly basis and requires a match from the
department. This means that if the Graduate School funds a PhD student for
one quarter, the department must fund the same student for a
second quarter. There is no expectation of continued funding through this
mechanism, and departments must reapply for each request beyond the
original commitment.



The deadline to apply for Autumn 2025 is *September 24, EOB*. We will
follow up with details about Winter 2026 and Spring 2026 deadlines.



We will receive the nominations through MyGrad. The creation of that portal
is still in process, but below is the information departments will need
to submit:

   - Student name and ID no.
   - PhD granting department
   - Name of PI and grant
   - Details about grant cancellation, including dates
   - Details on how the program/department/college/school attempted to fill
   funding gaps locally



I will send the link to the MyGrad portal once it is ready. Please do not
send nominations to this email address.



All student nominees must have been funded on a grant that was
unexpectedly terminated in or since Spring 2025. Students on grants under
threat of termination are not eligible. Priority will be given to:

   - PhD students beyond advancement to candidacy stage, especially those
   near graduation
   - PhD students admitted in or before the 2024-2025 academic year
   - PhD students working with an assistant professor either as their
   advisor or in a collaboration on a grant where the assistant professor is
   the PI



Please cascade this information to your GPCs, GPAs, and department chairs.
We will do the same.



Please reach out to *graddean at uw.edu <gradddean at uw.edu>* if you have any
questions.



Thanks,



Joy
