It continues to receive support from the university and private foundations.

Rutgers University Studies, affectionately known as RUSCH, was founded in conjunction with Project Theophrastus and in time took on a life of its own. Today it focuses on the colleagues, pupils and successors of Theophrastus. In particular, it is dedicated to redoing Fritz Wehrli's Die Schule des Aristoteles/The School of Aristotle. Missing texts are being included, and the apparatus of variant readings and of parallel texts is being enlarged. In addition, an English translation is being added.
