If you're starting something new at the bench or on the stage, WMU has resources to help you launch your project. Several internal funding programs are designed to help researchers recruit students, organize a study, collect preliminary data, and expand disciplinary portfolios. Occasionally internal funding is released for a specific purpose, like responding to a pandemic. Junior faculty can tap into these opportunities to support early career activities and apply for fellowships.
