Description:
A team of three or more NMSU faculty or staff (including professional, classified, and administrative staff), with a majority of members from the College of Agricultural Consumer and Environmental Sciences, engaged in  interdisciplinary activities in one or more of the  functional areas of teaching, Experiment Station research, and Extension Station research. Teams with international activities in any of the functional areas also may be considered for nomination.

Eligibility: A team is a group of people working together to achieve a common goal. This can include lab, office or committee efforts. The team programs should be functioning actively during the year of nomination for the award. While it is recognized that multi-disciplinary collaboration can occur within a single department, Extension district, or other administrative unit, nominations involving interdepartmental collaboration are strongly encouraged.

Nominations:
The award can recognize short-term, high-impact programs, as well as longer-term team contributions. Nominations must illustrate how the contributions of the team support the mission of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. These contributions can be in generating new knowledge, disseminating existing knowledge, or developing instructional programs or activities.  Nominations should identify and justify the interdisciplinary nature of the activities proposed for recognition, as well as clearly state how the interdisciplinary nature of the team affected the contribution(s). A brief professional resume of each team member should be included in the nomination packet.
