+ REVIEW OF FACULTY TRACKS

+Primary Themes: Tenure Tracks

Investigator / Educator Track, a full-time tenure track for those faculty members in any department whose primary career is in independent, investigator-initiated research and who devote some time to education and service.

Investigator Clinician / Educator Track, a full-time tenure track for those faculty in the clinical departments whose primary career combines independent research with clinical activities and who devote some time to education and service.

+ Primary Themes: Non Tenure TracksClinician Investigator / Educator Track, a full-

time non-tenure track for those faculty members in clinical departments whose primary career is in the provision of clinical care and who devote a substantial portion of their efforts to teaching, research, and service.

Research / Educator Track, a full-time non-tenure track for those faculty members in any department whose primary career is in research, but who devote a portion of their efforts to education and service.

+RESEARCH AND TEACHING EXPECTATIONS

+Performance Standards for Research Faculty

In 2009, the School of Medicine accepted the recommendations of the AEC and implemented the Policy on Performance Expectations for Research Faculty, which defined expectations for research faculty productivity (>25% effort in research), adopting metrics utilized at peer institutions. The process for evaluating research faculty involves multiple steps and engagement of the faculty, Chairs, and the Dean’s Office.
