Research at WSU Spokane
As a top-ranked Carnegie research institution, WSU Spokane puts advancing knowledge through world-class scholarship at the heart of its mission.
Our research plays an increasingly important role both in the vitality of the Inland Northwest economy and the strength of the WSU system.
A Message from the Vice Chancellor
of Research
Research at Washington State University Spokane is increasingly contributing to the overall research goals and mission of Washington State University. Over the past five years research expenditures have increased by approximately fifteen percent per year.
As a consequence of new opportunities and campus development, continued research growth is anticipated. Much of the research growth is a consequence of collaboration between Pullman and Spokane programs.
The Office of Research at WSU Spokane works closely
with the Office of
Research in Pullman to process research proposals,
negotiate contracts, and facilitate the conduct of
research and scholarly activities in a coordinated
fashion. The Office of Research also provides faculty
development opportunities in the form of a WSU Spokane
Seed Grant Program in partnership with the College of
Nursing and College of Pharmacy. Faculty at all of
Washington State University campuses are eligible to
apply for this program.
I hope the information contained on our web pages will
help you understand how WSU Spokane contributes and is
linked to the research and scholarly activity of WSU. I
encourage you to contact me directly if we may provide
further information or assistance.
