The funds provide research support for faculty members on all WSU campuses to develop their behavioral, psychosocial, and biomedical research capabilities and to demonstrate the merit of their research ideas, productivity, and creativity.  Funding is for a maximum of $30,000, and projects are up to 18 months in duration.
