Chancellor-Provost Francine Conway announced four submissions to the Chancellor-Provost Challenge: Toward the Common Good. The challenge is a component of the Rutgers–New Brunswick Academic Master Plan.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Research has invited each submission team’s leaders to proceed to the next phase of the challenge, which will involve clarification and development of each proposal and, ultimately, the awarding of grants as part of the Chancellor-Provost Office plan to invest $15 million over five years to build interdisciplinary scholarship and scholarly communities to serve the common good.
