The SMU Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship (formerly known as the SMU Multidisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship) is intended for existing PhD students who have shown exemplary pursuit of research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. Interdisciplinary research may include research output from two or more disciplines across Schools, or across two or more research areas or disciplines within the same School.
Recipients of this award have shown that they have been able to integrate knowledge and methods from the two or more research areas or disciplines to advance fundamental understanding or to find solutions which are beyond the scope of a single disciplinary knowledge.
