A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:

The Faculty handbook, under section B- Appointment and Renewal, lists four criteria for the renewal of a contract with a member of the teaching faculty (these four criteria are what a make up tenure reviews at Earlham). The second criterion is Quality of Mind which states some indicators as: "Intellectual sharpness and vitality as evidenced by the quality of such things as continuing studies, research, creative work, public lectures, publications; breadth and depth of intellectual interests and competencies, and the capacity to place knowledge and skills into significant context; grant writing; interdisciplinary interests and activities; regular involvement in professional scholarly and educational societies and organizations; and the quality of one’s contributions to intellectual discourse with students and peers."
