A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
The university’s research commitment to achievement in research, teaching and service extends to interdisciplinary research, teaching and service. This priority is presented in the USC Faculty Manual. It is also extensively identified in the Faculty Manual for the Environment and Sustainability Program, which is made up of faculty from the various schools across campus. The Program works to facilitate a university-wide focus on the environment by: supporting interdisciplinary research and scholarship among faculty and students, promoting awareness of environmental and sustainability opportunities and accomplishments on the campus and beyond, providing an interdisciplinary environmental education to undergraduate and graduate students, and providing outreach to the broader public communities. Critical to the accomplishment of the mission are the faculty of the E&SP, their collaborative work, and their interactions with students. One of the primary goals of the program that reaches across traditional academic boundaries is: To foster interdisciplinary collaborations on environmental and sustainability issues and problems and thereby advance complex research initiatives or education platforms. Additionally, the program puts an emphasis on joint hiring of faculty by departments.
