SUMMARY OF FUNDED PROJECTS
INTERCAMPUS COURSES
History of Medicine, an Honors Course: UCD and UCSC. UCSC plans to develop an undergraduate
honors program and to initiate that process, UCD faculty will teach History of Medicine at UCSC in Spring
98. Faculty are modifying the UCD course to include the role of French scientists in the history of medicine and
ethical, social and anthropological issues. Both campuses are sharing faculty, guest speakers, and a Web site dedicated
to the course. For the first offering of the course, a team of UCD faculty will commute to UCSC to teach. Subsequent
plans include using distance learning technologies for the course. IAPIF Award for 1997-98: $3,000.

Planning for Intercampus Astronomy Courses UCI, UCLA, UCSD: Faculty at UCI, UCLA and
UCSD are developing strategies to increase intercampus cooperation for graduate education in astronomy and astrophysics.
An inventory of graduate courses will be compiled. Faculty and graduate students will review these courses and
select one as a course sharing demonstration project. IAPIF award for 1996-97: $3,727.
Lead faculty: David Tytler, Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences,
UCSD
Participating faculty: Gary Chanan, Department of Physics & Astronomy, UCI
Matthew Malkan, Department of Physics & Astronomy, UCLA
Joint graduate seminar "Violence and Social Order" -- political science and related fields:
UCSC and UCSD. Faculty from UCSC and UCSD collaborated to offer a graduate seminar based at UCSD
in Spring 1997 with students invited from other southern campuses. The proposers expect to use interactive video
and other distance technologies to deliver the seminar in the future to students in both the north and south. IAPIF
award for 1996-97: $2,130.
Lead faculty: J. Peter Euben, Department of Politics, UCSC
Participating faculty: Gary Shiffman, Department of Political Science, UCSD
Intercampus Internet course on ethics and survival skills in academia: UCSD and UCSF:
Faculty from UCSD and UCSF collaborated to develop a course on scientific standards, ethics and survival skills
for graduate students in science and engineering. Such courses are now required as a condition for receiving NIH
grants, and demand is anticipated to be ongoing. The course was designed to be mounted on the Internet and has
the potential to be available to students on campuses across the system. IAPIF award for 1996-97: $3,000.
Lead faculty: Michael Kalichman, Department of Pathology, UCSD
Participating faculty: Dennis Deen, Department of Neurological Surgery, UCSF
Jeffrey Elman, Department of Cognitive Science, UCSD
Summer Institute on Bilingual Education Research: UCD, UCLA, UCSB, UCSC. The Summer
Institute held on the Santa Barbara campus in 1995 had three major objectives: 1) to provide cross-disciplinary
instruction for graduate students that would otherwise not be available on their home campuses; 2) to enhance the
collaboration of UC faculty from various campuses; and 3) to provide opportunities for Fellows to develop collaborative
relationships with each other and with faculty on other UC campuses who may mentor them in their research. Teams
of UC faculty conducted research seminars in a multi-disciplinary format with a depth not possible on a single
campus and not normally accessible to students. Up to 32 doctoral Fellows participated in the Summer Institute.
IAPIF award for 1994-95: $19,000.
Lead faculty: Reynaldo F. Macias, Language Minority Research Institute,
Multi-campus Research Institute, UCSB

Barry McLaughlin, National Center for Research on Cultural Diversity and
Second Language
Learning, UCSC
Concepcion Valadez, Bilingual Education Fellowship Program, UCLA
Field Studies Course in Asian American Studies: UCLA and UCR: UCLA and UCR offered an
intercampus upper division course, "Asian American Visual Ethnography" in spring 1996. This was a field
studies course with a video laboratory to demonstrate the viability of video documentary technology as a curriculum
and research ethnographic tool in Asian American studies. In winter 1996, three faculty from UCLA and three faculty
from UCR made campus visits to discuss needs in visual documentation and research interests. Collections will be
shared with Asian American studies programs at the other campuses. IAPIF award for 1995-96: $9,523.
Lead faculty: Edward Chang, Center for Asian Pacific America, UCR
Robert Nakamura, Asian American Studies Center, UCLA
Participating faculty: Edna Bonacich, Department of Sociology, UCR
Steffi San Buenaventura, Department of Ethnic Studies, UCR
Valerie Matsumoto, Department of History, UCLA
Jinqui Ling, Department of Literature, UCLA Kyeyoung Park, Department of
Anthropology,
UCLA
Field Studies Course in Environmental Biology: White Mountain Research Station, UCI, UCR,
and UCSD. The White Mountain Research Station (WMRS) offered a field course in environmental biology for undergraduate
and graduate students from UCI, UCR, and UCSD. Because there is a limited number of biologists in many departments
who are trained to teach field studies, the WMRS course was developed. This was a quarter-long in-residence course
in which students completed all laboratory and field exercises in small groups at staggered times and conducted
independent research projects for 12 units of 199/299 credit. A resident faculty coordinator taught the core curriculum.
Visiting UC faculty and local agency scientists spent one week in residence to teach specialized scientific methods
and experimental problem solving. IAPIF award for 1995-96: $21,064.
Lead faculty: Frank Powell, Director, White Mountain Research Station, MRU
Participating faculty: Albert Bennett, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology, UCI
Ted Case, Department of Biology, UCSD
Allen Gibbs, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, UCI
