Research at APL-UW is funded by grants and contracts, primarily with government federal agencies such as the U.S. Navy, NSF, NASA, NIH, and DARPA.
APL-UW receives no support from the state of Washington. The Laboratory relies on private gifts for new faculty positions, new buildings, student fellowships, seed funding for new research projects, endowments, matching funds to secure federal research grants, educational outreach to schools, undergraduate mentorships, and new programs.
You can make gifts to the APL-UW Institute, the Laboratory's Joseph P. Henderson Endowment Fund, the APL-UW Discretionary Account, or make a Life Income Gift.
Find information about online giving at the University of Washington Foundation secure website.

Rex Andrew's research interests involve the use of acoustic signals to infer the properties of the source mechanism itself or the medium through which the signals propagate. In the ocean, this field is commonly known as acoustical oceanography. This discipline requires the combination of statistical signal and array processing theory with the physics of wave propagation for proper interpretation.
Roger Andersen has made 35 trips to the polar regions for scientific research since joining the Polar Science Center in 1975, when it was the Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint Experiment. His current projects include the North Pole Environmental Observatory and the Freshwater Switchyard of the Arctic Ocean.
