When I was at Princeton University, all reasearch proposals were required to
have graduate student support.  In fact, lacking grad support was a criterion
for rejection by the research committee.  Although it's been a few years
(ahem!), I think they continue to have this policy.  Grad support included
stipend plus tuition remission (at 65% if memory serves).  To the best of my
knowledge, there were no exceptions to the policy.

Personally, I think it is a disservice to our graduate student's education to
exclude their support on research projects.  Hopefully, they will become our
next generation of researchers, keeping all of us employed, by the way.
