Research Services

GPRS personnel have decades of in-depth experience with higher education, federal, non-profit, business, and private funding mechanisms for international projects. Since 2017, we have secured over $7.5 million in external funding.

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.
