• Basic research using human subjects• Applied research using human subjects
(translational research)• Clinical efficacy in humans• Clinical effectiveness in populations• Population/health system/care delivery• Education

(infrastructure)• Technical basic or clinical support (human
resources)• Protected time (personal resources)• Access to
samples/databases/patients/trainees

What Are the Institutional Expectations
• Grant funding• Clinical responsibilities• Educational responsibilities• What will get you promoted/tenured?

Are You On the Right Faculty Track?
• What is the value of tenure in a medical school?• Tenure track positions have a set time when the ax
will fall (average age for first RO1 is 42)• Can you compete with Ph.D. faculty who are 90% in
the lab?• Clinical track positions do not preclude active research
programs• Funding buys research time• Most institutions require scholarly activity for
promotion in all tracks
