In 2006, WSU’s President Irvin D. Reid, awarded $1.2 million in collaborative nanoscience research projects to Wayne State faculty as part of his President’s Research Enhancement Program. This investment was designed to strengthen the university’s position as a nationally recognized research institution, and to contribute towards developing research themes for the university that are consistent with an emphasis on its urban mission and global presence.
