Does the institution's treatment of interdisciplinary research meet the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
As mentioned in "Successful Faculty Performance in Teaching, Research, and Service" (2009, FSU Dean of Faculties office): programmatic research and focused creative work should not be constrictive. A faculty
member’s research or creative work should be flexible enough to take advantage of serendipity,
as well as collaboration with students and colleagues...Faculty members also collaborate with their colleagues by adding their specialized
research or artistic expertise to a project even though the project is tangential to their own
work...While a certain amount of diversity in research and creative work is appropriate, a faculty
member’s Vita should still show clear evidence of a research program or creative focus that is
long-term, or periodically evolving, if substantive contributions are to be made to his or her field
of study or expression. There should be an obvious coherence in the titles of publications,
presentations, and contracts and grants.
