If the faculty member’s contributions are largely as part ofa team (and thus largely as middle author or roles on grants other than PI), comment explicitly on the evidence (from referee letters, disciplinary background, etc. ) that the faculty member is the intellectual steward of a defined portion of the work. If tenure is proposed based on Research, summarize evidence “supporting the future likelihood of ongoing success as an intellectually independent researcher with continued funding as a principal or collaborative investigator, with a strong track record of successful grant applications, contracts, or other research support, especially through competitive peer-reviewed processes.” Relevant brief quotations from referee letters may be used, although please use these sparingly to support your narrative.  \nScholarship: [summarize evidence for (non-Research) scholarship “demonstrating a developed, indepth approach of the highest quality to an area of focused interest,” as evidenced by [specific points from Appendiceal bulleted list]]. If tenure is proposed based on Scholarship, summarize evidence of the faculty member’s “ongoing preeminence in the field, with both a sustained record of scholarly products   consistent with preeminence in the field, typically beyond that required for promotion in rank to Professor, and a sustained level of impact on the field, reflected in scope or depth of impact and a superior level of originality, innovation, and/or influence.” Relevant brief quotations from referee letters may be used, although please use these sparingly to support your narrative.  \nInstitutional Scholarship: [summarize evidence for “distinctive institution-wide scientific or scholarly contributions that have a significant impact on the core missions ofthe SMD,” as evidenced by [specific points from Appendiceal bulleted list]]. If tenure is proposed based on Institutional Scholarship, summarize evidence “supporting the faculty member’s eminence in institutional scholarship   (with) a sustained track record of particularly innovative or essential contributions across multiple areas of the institution   (and) a sustained level of impact on the institution and field.” Relevant brief quotations from referee letters may be used, although please use these sparingly to support your narrative.  \nClinical: [summarize evidence for “specialized professional services of the highest quality in patient care or other aspects of URMC missions” as evidenced by [specific points from Appendiceal bulleted list]]. It is most helpful to provide descriptions of the nature of the faculty member’s expertise and professional services, including a general sense of how much time/effort they spend on their clinical practice. Relevant brief quotations from referee letters may be used , although please use these sparingly to support your narrative. As applicable, it also is helpful to provide metrics or other relatively objective evidence regarding the quality, innovation, or impact of the faculty member’s clinical activities.  \nContributions to Academic Missions (for faculty whose sole component is Clinical along with Teaching): [summarize evidence for “active support of URMC academic missions,” as evidenced by [specific points from Appe","cbCaiksmYKEvhhgt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiksmYKEvhhgt","pdf",265299,"English","# Chair’s Letter to the Dean’s Office Proposing Promotion\n## Proposal Summary and Appointment Term\n## Evidence by Evaluation Components\n## Final Summary","[{\"question\":\"What information does the template require to propose a faculty promotion?\",\"answer\":\"It requests the faculty member’s name, the proposed rank, the basis among specified components, and whether the term is for X years or unlimited tenure, followed by background and current major departmental/URMC roles.\"},{\"question\":\"How should evidence be presented for the Research component?\",\"answer\":\"The letter should summarize evidence for intellectually independent research in a defined expertise area, including explicit guidance on intellectual stewardship when contributions are largely team-based, and, if tenure is proposed, future likelihood of continued success and competitive funding.\"},{\"question\":\"What components does the template use to evaluate promotion beyond Research?\",\"answer\":\"It includes Scholarship, Institutional Scholarship, Clinical, Contributions to Academic Missions (when sole component is Clinical with Teaching), Teaching, and Service/Leadership/National Recognition, each with tailored evidence prompts and optional limited referee quotations.\"}]","Chair’s Letter to the Dean’s Office Proposing Promotion - Template | PDF",1789565479]
