A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
According to the UNH Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Research, UNH does not penalize interdisciplinary, trans-disciplinary, or multi-disciplinary research during faculty promotion and tenure decisions.
In fact, interdisciplinary research is promoted and featured in the UNH 2020 strategic plan, including through the Sustainability Academy (www.sustainableunh.unh.edu):
