Full Professor Crossdisciplinary Conversation Award

The Full Professor Crossdisciplinary Conversation Award encourages faculty at the rank of full professor to propose research projects that would be enhanced through cross-disciplinary consultation with a faculty member in another field. The collaborating faculty member may be of any rank and may belong to any department, discipline, or field other than the applicant’s own. The faculty member initiating the project receives no compensation other than the formal recognition of the award and the intrinsic reward of crossdisciplinary collegiality and knowledge. (Full professors may hold a Conversation Award simultaneous with a Society of Scholars Research Fellowship.) An award in the amount of $1500 for research will acknowledge the generosity of the faculty counterpart who gives time and expertise

Application

1. A proposal that includes a description of what the faculty counterpart can bring to the project.

3. Curriculum vitæ for both faculty (maximum five pages per person).
