In April 2023, the Interdisciplinary Collaboration Committee was charged with identifying practical, financial, historical and administrative barriers to interdisciplinary collaboration at Temple University and provide recommendations to enrich and expand interdisciplinary opportunities and collaboration at the faculty, college, and University levels in research and academic programs. In December 2023, the committee submitted its recommendation report to the provost, which was approved for phased implementation.
