Research Services
WSU has a long-standing history in international research, education, and outreach with partnerships and participants worldwide.
GPRS personnel have decades of in-depth experience with higher education, federal, non-profit, business, and private funding mechanisms for international projects.
We provide services that support WSU researchers—both faculty and students—in their scholarly and creative activities. We are equally focused on supporting visiting faculty, researchers, students, and partner institutions from around the globe.
