WISH Program Application Process
WISH has developed a formal intake and grant process for all WISH education/training programs. All UW Medicine entities ("internal") will need to fill out an application. All others are considered external and will have a separate process found here.
Internal Requests
The application process is available online and completed applications are accepted on a rolling-basis with a quarterly review deadline. Once accepted, applicants will be notified and can begin the scheduling process. All existing programs must have an application on file to be considered for the following academic year.
Application
You can now begin the process with your new application found at:
WISH Resource Application →

External Requests
WISH facilities are available for a variety of needs (e.g. educational and training courses, research programs, film and media location, etc.). External and industry sponsored courses are subject to availability, WISH fee, and may require a facility agreement.
External Process
STEP 1: Check Availability
Contact Bridget Kovach to identify available options and place a temporary hold.
STEP 2: Session Prep & Quote Approval
Once a date has been identified, WISH will discuss course space and equipment requirements. A quote will then be developed and circulated for review and approval. Once approved, the calendar hold will become an official booking.
STEP 3: Session Prep Finalized
Following official booking, our technical staff will work with the primary coordinator for logistical planning, course setup, and to ensure all session needs are met.
+Q: What does availability look like?
Subject to availability, external and industry partners may request books during regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 8AM - 5PM), as well as after-hours and weekends. Due to limited availability, we recommend 6-8 weeks advanced notice for scheduling.
+Q: What does the WISH fee include?
The WISH fee includes:
•Facility rental
•Use of WISH tools & equipment (e.g. lighting, instrumentation, AV equipment)
•Onsite technical assistance
•Basic personal protective equipment
