[Sehefac] CIS/ RED Interdisciplinary MiniLabs

[Dana Simmons]

Hi all,
This is from CIS Co-Director Jeanette Kohl:

https://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/minilabs/

The Center for Ideas and Society’s “Being Human” Initiative and the Office
of the Vice Chancellor of Research and Economic Development invite
proposals for cross-campus, interdisciplinary research mini-labs under the
rubric of Innovation Through Humanities.

Proposals for small, interdisciplinary, short-term labs may explore any
research area but should include a strong grounding in humanities
scholarship and methods. In addition to the group’s main research agenda,
labs should reflect on and interrogate at least one of the following
questions:

   - How can the humanities guide innovation and problem-solving in other
   disciplines?
   - What form do innovative and successful collaborations across academic
   fields take?
   - Should we reimagine traditional humanities disciplines and, if so, how?
   - The goal of these experimental and interdisciplinary workgroups is to
   foster cross-campus conversations and seed grant applications (individually
   or as a group).


Application Requirements
MiniLab.02 project groups meet over the course of one quarter in Summer
2024, Fall 2024, Winter 2025 or Spring 2025

   - Each lab will consist of 4-5 UCR faculty investigators, with at least
   2 members from CHASS
   - Each participant will receive $500 in research funds at the end of the
   project
   - If desired, funds may be pooled to cover group meeting expenses during
   the quarter
   - At the end of the quarter, each group will submit a position paper
   that outlines the work conducted and provide information about grant
   applications coming from the minilab
   - Participants agree to attend a lunch in spring or fall 2025 to meet
   with other MiniLab 2.0 groups
