Owen School collaborators were part of three trans-institutional projects selected for the initial set of awards from Vanderbilt’s new Trans-Institutional Program (TIPs).
“I am pleased to see the active collaboration of Owen faculty across campus. These projects illustrate the broad range of inter-disciplinary scholarship at Owen.”, said M. Eric Johnson, dean of the Owen Graduate School of Management.
Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos launched the $50 million TIPs program in November 2014 to provide support over the next five years for cross-disciplinary research and collaboration—a core pillar of the university’s Academic Strategic Plan. TIPs applicants were encouraged to identify projects that only could be pursued through collaboration and that still may be in the “incubation” phase. There was also an opportunity for existing initiatives to apply for funding that would allow these enterprises a chance to make even greater strides.
The three TIPs programs that include Owen faculty are:
Vanderbilt Institute for Obesity and Metabolism
Owen Faculty: Kelly Haws
Collaborating Schools: College of Arts and Science, School of Law, Peabody College, Owen Graduate School of Management, School of Medicine
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Assessing Health Care in Brazil
