Does the institution's treatment of interdisciplinary research meet the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
PIK stands for Penn Integrates Knowledge, an initiative conceived by President Gutmann to recruit scholars whose research and teaching exemplify the integration of knowledge. These scholars hold endowed professorships and joint appointments between Penn's schools.
The Penn Integrates Knowledge program attracts leading professors whose scholarship and teaching fall at the overlap of disciplines—and who hold joint appointments in more than one of Penn’s schools. Examples include anthropology and filmmaking, medicine and ethics, chemistry and engineering, and psychology, politics, and organizational behavior, among others.
PIK appointments create natural bridges between different parts of the University, enriching learning experiences and furthering Penn’s mission to integrate knowledge in service to society. To date, Penn has appointed 15 PIK professors.
