Once a center is created, it is normally approved for a five-year period. Management of the interdisciplinary center is the primary responsibility of the center's director.
On an annual basis, the director of the center should submit to the relevant dean or Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies an annual report, which provides a status report on the success of the unit as well as a financial report. Details on the annual report can be found through the link on the left.
At the end of the approval period (normally five years), all centers are reviewed by the relevant dean or the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies, with the advice of appropriate faculty and administrators. Information on the formal review process is available by choosing that section on the left.
