The 人文/艺术实验室资助 will support disciplinary and interdisciplinary working groups that will create labs for individual or interrelated projects that will run during the academic year.

Labs will also provide opportunities for more experienced students to mentor students who are just learning new research skills.
The grant will require faculty to: 1) plan the lab, which includes determining the focus of the research, the number of students they will allow into the lab, the scaffolded research tasks that will take place within the lab, how the students will be evaluated, and the pedagogical framework for each semester (e.g., 取向, 阅读, work done together in the lab versus work done out of lab time); 2) work with department chairs to make sure the lab will count towards requirements for the major; 3) submit the lab to the UCC as a new course that fulfills at least one Pathways requirement; 4) commit to teaching the lab over multiple semesters beginning in the 3rd semester after the grant is awarded; 5) provide written assessment after teaching the course the first time.
