A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:

Excerpts from the Promotion and Tenure guidelines at CSU;

"Here at CSU we have a well-deserved reputation for interdisciplinary activity. We value that, and at promotion and tenure time we are in a position to reward it. We appreciate alternative CVs. We would never devalue a strong grounding in one’s discipline and the building of a disciplinary reputation with quality and impact. We take interdisciplinary work into account in a positive way."

Specific criteria for promotion includes:
"An expectation of some qualitative difference in the scope and level of contributions for the promotion to full professor. For example,...leading interdisciplinary teams on more complex projects; collaborations with an expanding circle of colleagues, both in and out of CSU."
