WRMI 2004 Annual Report
Funding
Stony Brook University continued to provide base support in the amount of $150,000 in 2004. The Institute is largely self-supporting at this point. Grants and contracts amount to about $1.2 million this year. The initial state support allowed for the hiring of excellent faculty with exciting research interests. They in turn have been able to attract grants from which world-class facilities and capabilities have been built.
