of the university and its external constituencies. Proposals also
must: reflect participation of a critical mass of accomplished faculty;
be multi-disciplinary; plan to leverage external funding; include
plans for integrating proposed activities into teaching, service
and/or research; and articulate how distinction will be brought to
the university.
