... Actions for Renewing U.S. Mathematical Sciences Departments Conducting interdisciplinary research can be very risky for a junior faculty member.
From page 21...
... Actions for Renewing U.S. Mathematical Sciences Departments for evaluating these publications and weighing them in comparison with traditional mathematical sciences publications.
From page 22...
... 4 Altering the Reward System If college and university mathematicians are going to pursue a broader role in mathematics education at all levels, it will be necessary to introduce explicit criteria for measuring and rewarding contributions that fall outside the research domain. While this observation itself is not terribly controversial, it will be very difficult to carry out its intent.
