Committed to creating and supporting an environment in which faculty members flourish and achieve their career goals and full professional potential.
What You Need to Know
We want to share an important update regarding the implementation of Interfolio’s Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR), which many refer to as the CV-Builder module.
We have heard your concerns regarding data entry challenges, formatting issues, and the need for more comprehensive training and communication. While dedicated efforts have been made to make the FAR-CV Builder module work since January 2023, it has become clear that the platform, in its current state, is not meeting our needs as expected.
The following changes are now in place:
- Faculty should not enter additional data into the FAR-CV Builder module until further notice. All the data you have previously entered remains available and you can download your data anytime.
- Faculty will upload a PDF version of their CV for annual reviews, consistent with the current process used for promotions, appointments, and tenure. An updated CV template is available on the Faculty Promotions & Career Development website.
Faculty should continue to use the Review, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) module for their annual reviews, appointments, promotions, tenure, and transfer of tracks. Faculty should upload a PDF version of their CVs and other documents (e.g. Executive Summary, Clinician Track Impact Report) for annual reviews, consistent with the current process used for appointments, promotions, tenure, and transfer of tracks.
In the meantime, WashU IT is working diligently to enhance training and support for the Review, Promotion, and Tenure (RPT) module.
Annual Reviews will be completed in Interfolio for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Annual Reviews for all faculty are important as a best practice and necessary to comply with LCME accreditation requirements.
