The SRCD Interdisciplinary Committee co-chairs will then appoint a subcommittee of 3 Interdisciplinary Committee members who, along with the co-chairs, will review and rate all applications. The subcommittee will hold a meeting to discuss the applications and make the final selection of fellows. Applications will be evaluated based on research originality, productivity, and potential as well as the committee’s assessment of how likely the applicant is to benefit from participating in the program and to contribute to advancing the interdisciplinary mission. Efforts will be made to balance representation across different disciplines. Following the final selection of fellows, the Interdisciplinary Committee will work together to identify and contact potential mentors for each fellow. Ideally, mentors will be senior developmental scientists conducting research in an area that is complementary to that of the fellow, and who have experience and interest in conducting research that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
