Originally launched in Nov. 2015, the Amazon Catalyst Program at the University of Washington (UW) is an initiative that provides financial support, mentorship, and resources for applicant’s innovative projects that address today’s most challenging problems. The project lead must be a current UW student, faculty or staff member, but individuals from any institution can apply as a team member.
Applicants are encouraged to submit an applied solution that clearly identifies a target population, which will demonstrate the impact of the project they have in mind.
