Breaking Barriers Recipients
2024
The Breaking Barriers Interdisciplinary Incentive Grant had two parts to the application process. A Notice of Intent was submitted by interested faculty members with a 250-word overview of their project proposal. 18 people submitted NOIs by October 26, 2023. The NOIs were screened to make sure the proposals were adhering to the terms of the grant, and those that were not meeting the interdisciplinary criteria were given further feedback to improve them for the final submission.
13 final proposals were submitted on January 30, 2024. From these 13 proposals, 4 were not sent for review because the final submission did not present an interdisciplinary proposal in which several disciplines were joining together to produce a new way of looking at a complex problem. Following the same review format as the Kickstarter Seed Grants, one reviewer had an understanding of the disciplinary conventions of the proposal, and the second reviewer was from outside of the discipline but had an understanding of the methodological approach. Along with scoring the proposal, both reviewers provided feedback on the strengths and challenges of the proposals.
