Effective April 1, 2007, Wayne State University graduate students who are successful in obtaining monetary support from an external agency to conduct a research project (excluding academic scholarships or appointments to an institutional training grant) can apply to receive 25% of the award amount to a maximum of $2,000 to use as supplemental research funds. The stipulation that the external award must exceed $6,000 has been rescinded. Money is to be used to support the externally funded research project, e.g. research equipment, subject payment, database subscriptions.
