2022-23 Interdisciplinary Scholar Awards
Archives/Previous Years
Consistent with the report of the Liberal Arts Task Force and the Providence College Strategic Plan, PC200, both of which recommended fostering more interdisciplinary study at Providence College, the School of Arts & Sciences is pleased to continue two programs to support interdisciplinary research efforts among our faculty.

Individual Interdisciplinary Awardees
The Individual Interdisciplinary Scholar Awards support individual Ordinary PC faculty members in any department or program in the School of Arts & Sciences who bring an interdisciplinary approach to their own research. Awardees and their projects are:

Awards can be used for research expenses (research or conference travel, supplies, fees, etc.), stipends for student researchers, and/or faculty stipends up to $500 per faculty member. Projects can be based on existing or continuing research initiatives or may represent a new direction of study. The incorporation of student researchers is encouraged, but not required.
