Applying for a Workshop

Each semester, the Center will send out a request for proposals to be offered the following semester.  A workshop proposal should contain the following information:

• the title of the seminar
• the name of each instructor
• also each instructor’s unit, program, email address, web site URL, phone number
• each instructor must be an Affiliate of the Center
• a one page description of what the seminar will cover, including:
• research area
• an explanation of why this area is of interdisciplinary interest in mind, brain, and culture
• a description of the relevant explanatory perspectives to be included
• a description of faculty, post docs, and graduate students likely to attend, and why they would be interested in this topic from an inter-disciplinary perspective
• a list of specific topics likely to be covered
• a list of references for work likely to be covered
• a list of external speakers to be invited
• a budget for the expenses associated with bringing the external speakers to campus, including travel, lodging, meals, and a modest honorarium
• a description of potential collaborative research projects that could follow, and the implications for future external funding

Please note the following:

• typically the Center will grant $3,000 to $5,000 total for a workshop
• at the current time, the Center can only support expenses associated with bringing in external speakers, not with any other aspects of a workshop

The Center will typically use the following criteria for selecting workshops to be funded:

• the research area is of high interest in multiple disciplines
• there are sufficiently many faculty and students interested who are willing to attend the workshop and help run it
• the workshop is novel, not covering a research area of a recent workshop or course
