Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Although the Tenure and Promotion Guidelines do not specifically state that interdisciplinary research is given the same weight as single-disciplinary research, Tufts as an institution prides itself on its commitment to interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research and scholarship (see white paper here: http://provost.tufts.edu/docs/White Paper on Collaboration at Tufts May 2011.pdf). Specific research grants are also awarded for professors who conduct interdisciplinary research (more information at http://ase.tufts.edu/research/bernsteinFacFellows.htm, http://provost.tufts.edu/1174240949780/Provost-Page-prov2w_1292421344856.html, and http://engineering.tufts.edu/research/interdisciplinaryinitiatives.htm)
