As interest in interdisciplinary research continues to increase, colleges still donâ??t have answers to critical questions about the best ways to support and encourage collaboration across the disciplines. How can a department fairly evaluate interdisciplinary research in promotion and tenure decisions, for example? How can an institution raise money for interdisciplinary endeavors within a system designed to fund raise for individual schools and colleges? â??We donâ??t yet have the solutions,â? said Gail Dubrow, vice provost and dean of the graduate school at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. â??But we know what the problems are.â?
