Affiliate Investigators from diverse disciplines and over 20 UW Departments utilize NORC services in the conduct of ground-breaking science in areas ranging from methods development and molecular biology to public policy and communication-based interventions.
Overview

Through this network, Affiliate Investigators will also gain exposure for their research and publications, have an opportunity to network and collaborate with other UW NORC investigators, and will have expanded access to nutrition and obesity-related conferences, seminars, trainings, and funding opportunities.
