Research and Capstone Projects

Students interested in conducting research at the UW Farm should submit a proposal to the farm manager, uwfarm@uw.edu and the related faculty member approving credit before or at the beginning of each quarter. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the project of interest with the UW Farm Manager before submitting a proposal.

The proposal should include the following:

  • One page describing the proposed project: problem, methods, expected outcome(s), including relevant literature
  • One page summarizing:
    • Relevance and potential benefits to the farm
    • Cost / funding needs and (if applicable) potential funding sources
    • Space requirement and availability
    • How the project will satisfy capstone, credit, or other requirements for the student researcher
    • State which college or school you are enrolled
    • Which faculty will be approving, grading, mentoring your project/internship
    • Timeline

The Farm Manager will review and may send inquiries to the Farm Advisory Committee for review.

Student researchers must submit a PDF and powerpoint of the final report to be archived.
