I love to see all the different types of research going on within the department, joint research with other departments at UW, or research with other universities.
Meet Carolyn Karls! Carolyn provides support for pre-award and post-award grant functions within the department. The pre-award side works collaboratively with researchers to prepare the non-technical materials for proposals, contracts, and agreements while the post-award side maintains and monitors the budgets through the award life. Carolyn started as a financial specialist with the department about two and a half years ago. She moved into the research administrator role a few months ago. She says it’s exciting to see grants friends and know the teams can start the research. “I have also really enjoyed getting to know many members of the research teams and seeing how dedicated everyone is to their fields.” Outside of work, Carolyn enjoys traveling, downhill skiing, walking her dog, and cooking for her family. Her goal is to visit all the National Parks.
