Industry Engagement Grant

The Innovation and Research Engagement Office (IREO) is bridging the gap between academia and industry.

IREO works with students, faculty and staff to position WSU’s creative, scholarly and technical assets in ways that maximize impact and return value to our state and national stakeholders. As part of Research Week 2021, we are inviting submission of proposals that communicate an innovative product/idea and its potential impact in key industries.
