A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
The primary goal of OSU’s Strategic Plan Phase II is to provide outstanding academic and research programs that further strengthen performance and pre-eminence in the three interdisciplinary Signature Areas of Distinction: Advancing the Science of Sustainable Earth Ecosystems; Improving Human Health and Wellness; and Promoting Economic Growth and Social Progress. Three years ago, the University formed academic divisions to provide greater opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching and research which advance the signature areas. Around 60 new faculty positions were hired to build capacity within these divisions. OSU is targeting future hires and reorganizing its academic units to become more interdisciplinary.
Many existing faculty are assigned to work in interdisciplinary fields, and are required to do interdisciplinary work. Given OSU's interdisciplinary focus via signature areas, faculty are evaluated positively when they do interdisciplinary research.
