Grant Summary

$20,000 over 6 months to study the relevant scholarly literature on integrative learning, conduct interviews with leaders at a dozen universities that have focused on making integrative learning a key focus, and hold a national meeting informed by this prior work, with an eye toward articulating promising practices that can be more widely used in academia. The planning period will produce a concept paper, case studies, new content for summer institutes, and a plan for a subsequent implementation project.
