For Press
William & Mary's Global Research Institute welcomes media inquiries from journalists, producers, and researchers seeking expert commentary, story leads, and information about our work.
Over 20 years, research labs at GRI have generated more than $100 million in external funding for William & Mary, engaged thousands of undergraduate students in applied research, and pioneered successful spinouts—including research labs that have influenced policy from Capitol Hill to organizations around the globe.
Following William & Mary's elevation to R1 research status, GRI now operates as a research incubator, partnering with W&M's five schools and the College of Arts & Sciences to accelerate faculty ideas from conception to sustainable impact.
