The InterDisciplinary Exchange & Advancement (IDEA) Leadership initiative supports innovative research, scholarly, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The collaborations are taking a variety of forms such as developing a proposal for a campus research center, a proposal for a funded proposal, a performance or exhibit, a book proposal, or a new academic programmatic area.
Each IDEA leader is participating in leadership development provided by the WAVES project and the Center for Women and Work. The initiative is funded by the Provost’s Office, the Vice Chancellor for Research, and the NSF ADVANCE Making WAVES team.
