The Michigan State University Research Foundation has announced an $11.8 million grant funding commitment to Michigan State University for the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year. The 2025 grant matches the previous year's allocation and supports important research programs at the university.

"Our grant to Michigan State serves our mission more than anything we do,” said David Washburn, Executive Director of the MSU Research Foundation. "These resources provide an annual margin of excellence, enabling programs and research projects across campus."

As a nonprofit foundation associated with the nation’s premier land grant university, the MSU Research Foundation is dedicated to promoting, encouraging, and supporting scientific investigation and research at Michigan State. The grants awarded by the Foundation have consistently bolstered the university's reputation as a world-class institution, supporting programs including technology commercialization, faculty recruitment and retention, and capacity-building initiatives.

“Since 1974, when our grant program started, every corner of the university has been impacted by resources from the Foundation,” Washburn continued. “From our MSU Research Foundation Professorships to institutional matching dollars, instrumentation and equipment, and student entrepreneurship, the Foundation’s resources are applied to real-world problems with an eye toward economic prosperity for all.”
