In FY11, the University will undertake its initial round of strategic, focused investments in a limited number of transdisciplinary "spires of excellence" that offer faculty across campus the opportunity to collaborate in research and participate in graduate education. "Research" is broadly defined, encompassing the full spectrum of intellectual activity of our faculty including scholarly and creative pursuits.
This website is intended as both a public resource with information about the initiative as well as a resource for the Transdisciplinary Working Groups charged by the Provost to develop proposals for potential spires. If you have any questions about this site or the UVM Transdisciplinary Research Initiative, please contact SpireQuestions@uvm.edu.
