Description
This internal grant program at Western Michigan University (WMU) provides financial support to faculty for the final preparation, publication, and exhibition of completed research papers and creative works. The funding is intended to offset expenses that occur after the research or creative activity has concluded, such as publicity, entry fees, shipping, supplies for dissemination, indexing, subvention charges, and conference presentation printing. The program is managed by the Office of Research and Innovation and is governed by guidelines from the Research Policy Council and the WMU-AAUP Contract (Article 34).
