Breaking Through: A Mellon-Funded Initiative on High Impact, Multidisciplinary Research and Scholarly Communication

A partnership between the Purdue Policy Research Institute (PPRI), Libraries and other Purdue units, this three-year, Mellon-funded initiative (2016-2019) enables multidisciplinary teams to tackle grand challenges in new ways. It also embeds policy experts, publishing professionals, and libraries faculty in the scholarly research and communication process, in order to provide researchers with expert assistance in communicating results directly to the public and key stakeholders.
The model is unique in two ways:
  1. it catalyzes collaboration between STEM researchers and scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences; and
  2. it integrates communication planning into projects from the start, in order to prioritize reaching communities of interest (policymakers, expert communities, not-for-profit and advocacy organizations, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders)
