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:
Interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary research are implicitly recognized during faculty promotion and tenure decisions due to the very nature of the campus’ research infrastructure. Graduate groups and programs are strategically interdisciplinary in nature so that they support and reinforce the faculty’s cross-disciplinary scholarship. Additionally, most of UC Merced’s research institutes, centers, and laboratories were established to house multidisciplinary projects. As research productivity is a principal criterion for faculty promotion and advancement, the campus’ strong and practical support of interdisciplinary research effectively supports the advancement of faculty whose scholarship follows suit.
