About the IHC

The IHC provides research funding to faculty and graduate students through a variety of awards, including collaborative research grants, individual fellowships and faculty release-time awards.

IHC events include lectures, seminars and conferences organized by IHC research focus groups and sub-units as well as events co-sponsored with campus departments. In addition, the IHC mounts year-long public programs on themes suggested by UCSB faculty and graduate students.

Interdisciplinary courses are offered each quarter at the IHC. A course taught through the IHC may be linked to a course in the instructor’s home department or may be simply listed with the IHC.

The IHC funds a number of research units. Research Focus Groups meet several times each quarter to share research on a given topic. IHC also provides support to a range of units who receive funding from outside the IHC and whose mission supports the IHC’s commitment to interdisciplinary.
