Interdisciplinary grants

Many faculty have asked for a summary of interdisciplinary grant deadlines during this transitional year (2007-2008).  There are three modest groups of funding available this year:

(1) Round Three Interdisciplinary grants for student projects -- Proposals are due May 2, 2008 to Justine Garrett in the Provost's Office. Proposals for Round Two were due on December 3, 2007.

(2) International, Interdisciplinary Travel Funds -- This is very modest funding that will be administered through the Deans Council. Students and/or faculty who plan to travel internationally during the 2007-2008 academic year to further work on an interdisciplinary project are encouraged to submit a proposal to their deans for travel support. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all funds are awarded.

(3) Interdisciplinary Course Development Funds -- Funding will be awarded to a small number of faculty to develop interdisciplinary course content. A subset of these would be then funded as courses during the 2008-2009 academic year. Faculty members who are interested should have been in touch with their dean about their ideas and submitted a brief proposal to the Office of the Provost no later than December 10, 2007. Proposals were discussed at Deans Council, in collaboration with the Co-Chairs of Academic Council, on December 11, 2007. Courses that will be offered during the 2008-2009 academic year will be announced in May.
