It should be prepared in a concise manner. Include only summaries in the dossier. The candidate for promotion should also document his/her most important achievements (see Section 3) and may include a maximum of five exhibits withthe dossier to provide detailed evidence of these achievements. The contents and organization of the dossier aredescribed below.  \nSection 1: Research Scientist Promotion Summary Sheet  \nUse the Recommendation for Promotion Form specific for Research Scientists and other nontenure track positions available on the Faculty Affairs web site. The deadline announcement posted for the current review cycle should contain a direct link to the appropriate form.  \nSection 2: Cover Letter for Promotion  \nSummarize the evidence supporting the candidate's promotion. Include the information specified below. The cover letter shall be the principal letter of evaluation from the promotion unit.  \nA. Background. List the candidate's research, creative activities, and efforts in research administration andservice since appointment or promotion to the presently held rank. Use the Statement of Roles & Responsibilities to guide the emphasis on particular areas.  \nB. Generalizations About the Candidate's Achievements. Make generalizations about the candidate's professional accomplishments in areas related to the position. Anchor these generalizations with cross-references to the pages of the dossier and the exhibits where the evidence is presented.  \nC. Assessment of the Candidate's Stature. Make generalizations about the candidate's regional, national, or international stature among those of his or her specialty and time within the discipline. Again, anchor thesegeneralizations with cross-references to the pages in the dossier and the exhibits where the evidence is presented.  \nSection 3: Roles and Responsibilities  \nThe Statement of Roles & Responsibilities that details the candidate’s current roles and responsibilities must be included. Changes or significant shifts in roles and responsibilities during the period covered by the evaluation should be identified.  \nSection 4: Vitae  \nItemize the candidate's professional activities and attainments as described in these guidelines and relevant to the Statement of Roles & Responsibilities. Identify with an asterisk to the left of the entry those publications, presentations, media, exhibitions, performances, or other accomplishments that are of national or internationalstanding. The candidate should add to the end of the vita no more than two pages of description of the candidate's major accomplishments, assessing the impact of each.  \nSection 5: Achievements  \nDescribe and document the candidate's achievements since appointment or promotion to present rank in relation to the criteria in these guidelines and the Statement of Roles & Responsibilities. Include data and information summaries where appropriate. Achievements sufficiently documented in Section 3 are preferably referenced by page number rather than duplicated in Section 4.  \nSection 6: Annual Evaluations  \nThe dossier must include annual evaluations of the candidate’s performance since initial appointment or most recent promotion at the University of Georgia. These annual evaluations detail the candidate’s performance during the period under review and should summarize performance based on the candidate’s roles and responsibilities.  \nSection 7: External Evaluations  \nObtain the specified number of letters (section 5.3 of the guidelines) from external assessors who can provide a critical, detailedevaluation of the candidate's work. Briefly state the qualifications for each person evaluating the candidate. Provide the external assessors with the candidate's Statement of Roles & Responsibilities, curriculum vitae, and examples of the candidate's best scholarly works and accomp","cbCaigYlDmqaDItD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigYlDmqaDItD","pdf",194959,"English","# Research Scientist Promotion Summary Sheet\n# Cover Letter for Promotion\n## Background\n## Generalizations About the Candidate's Achievements\n## Assessment of the Candidate's Stature\n# Roles and Responsibilities\n# Vitae\n# Achievements\n# Annual Evaluations\n# External Evaluations","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the promotion dossier for research scientists?\",\"answer\":\"The dossier presents evidence of the candidate’s qualifications for promotion.
