Welcome to the 2006-2007 academic year! To support and encourage research endeavors at the university, the Office of the Vice President for Research offers a variety of internal research funding opportunities for which faculty are eligible to compete. Additionally, the Graduate School, Office of the Provost, Honors Program, Humanities Center and Center for Health Research offer competitive research support opportunities for faculty.

To allow faculty and graduate students easy access to information about research funding opportunities available through these units, the Office of the Vice President for Research annually compiles the Internal Research Support Booklet. This booklet provides information on competitions for faculty and graduate students, guidelines on university procedures for conducting research, information on research support services, and a list of internal websites helpful for WSU researchers. The booklet for the 2006-2007 academic year is accessible online at: http://www.research.wayne.edu/internaldocs/IRSB_2006-2007.pdf.

Details about competitions and links to application forms can be found in the booklet. To go quickly to the page in the booklet containing information on the award of interest, simply click on the award name in the booklet’s Table of Contents.
