Founder, Coordinator of Interdisciplinary Research Group on

Sustainable Community Development

2010-2013 This group grew to over 30 faculty representing 12 Departments and 4 Colleges.

Faculty have used the group as an information resource, source of faculty from

other disciplines with similar interests, and a source for learning about external

requests for proposals. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency

released an RFP related to transportation and pollution. The IRG members were

notified of the RFP and three members subsequently met and discussed whether

to jointly submit a proposal.

facilities to examine what the host organization was doing regarding various aspects

of self-managed teams (e.g. peer evaluations, measuring team performance).
