Affiliation Agreements

The Attorney General’s Office has approved standard language for the Health Sciences Affiliation Agreements. The approved agreement templates for each Health Science School is linked at the bottom of this page. They are current as of June 2025. As Health Sciences Services continues to refine procedures in support of the Health Science Schools, we request the following when presenting Affiliation Agreements for review and signature:

Agreements with changes to the standard template and/or training site generated templates:

  • Please submit requests for the Attorney General Office (AGO) Affiliation Agreement Review Request Form as part of the Review Process section of the UW AGO Affiliation Agreement. Because the AGO is not a party in affiliation agreements, the AAG’s signature is not a legal requirement. Therefore, the UW Division of the Attorney General’s Office no longer maintains the practice of signing affiliation agreements. Approval as to form is conveyed by email.
  • AAG overseeing AAs is Erica Graser. Please review the AGO’s Affiliation Agreement FAQs section for answers to commonly asked questions. Insurance-related inquiries should be directed to Risk Services. Program-specific/operational-level questions should be first be addressed within the Program’s department/school and HSS. For other questions regarding AA review, please contact Erica Graser (AAG) and Brendon McCarroll (Paralegal) at: uwagoaa@atg.wa.gov
  • To complete review, please allow up to 4-6 weeks for review of each agreement
  • Due to the familiarity with UW generated AAs, those that use a UW template are usually processed quicker than contacts generated by the affiliate. Although it is not a legal requirement, AGO-approved UW agreements should be considered a prerequisite when the UW is the training site.
  • After routing for internal signatures, please route to Lisa Plancich, at Health Sciences Strategic Planning & Development, for signature from HSS Director Jason Lindahl
  • Expect three (3) business days for HSS review, signature, and return

Agreements with no changes to the language in the AGO approved standard template and/or the AAG has already signed the document:

  • After routing for signatures related to the specific school’s agreement, please route to Lisa Plancich, at Health Sciences Strategic Planning & Development. Jason Lindahl, HSS Director, will sign after all other signatures/approvals are placed on the agreement.
  • Expect three (3) business days for HSS review, signature, and return
  • Include explanatory email or attach a cover page
