Faculty180 Videos and Documentation

Below is a series of how-to videos and documents for Faculty180 at URI. Each video looks at different sections of the tool and demonstrates how to add, edit, or remove information in each section. Faculty180 is divided into 2 main areas: the Profile form and the Activities form. The Profile Form comes partially auto-loaded with information, such as name, rank, and office location. We ask all faculty to look at the sections in the Profile form for accuracy. Most sections in the Activities form rely on Faculty to import most of the information, however Courses Taught with enrollments, and credits by term are auto-loaded.

Creating the Candidate Profile and Period-of-Review Tabulation of Accomplishments form

Faculty looking for a robust guide for this process can refer to the Faculty180 Candidate Profile and Period-of-Review Tabulation of Accomplishments document. Note, all attachments added to Faculty180 associated with RPT forms will also need to be added to any RPT case, attachments do not move between Interfolio:Faculty180 and Interfolio:RPT. This includes attachments, such as syllabi, IDEAs, and journal articles.

Profile Form

The Profile Form contains many sections that remain relatively unchanged over time and some come pre-populated through data sources at URI, while other sections require faculty to enter information. The following videos cover the sections in the profile form. The sections covered in the video are labeled above each video.

Personal Information, Contact Information, and Current Position

Prior Employment History, Degrees Earned, and Professional Licensure & Certification

Professional Information, Military Experience, and Biography

Research Interests, Teaching Interests, and Service Interests

You may choose to list your areas of interest in these sections. Entering information here will allow other faculty to search for colleagues with similar interests.

Activities Form

The Activities Form is the form where faculty add, update, and validate their Teaching, Research, and Service.  The form is grouped into three recognizable areas teaching, research, and service.  Most of the sections are used to support RPT however there may be some unique sections for some faculty in areas where the programs they work in are accredited.  Many of these sections are also used in the creation of CVs and Biosketches.

A help video demonstrating bulk Imports using RIS and BibTex files

It is recommended to use the import option, as it allows many publications to be loaded in the shortest amount of time. See detailed instructions for using Google Scholar to input activities. The google scholar method leverages the RIS / BibTeX option. The Medline / PubMed option works just like a standard academic database search allowing you to search for works using Author, Title, and other tags. 

A help video demonstrating the Manual input method

Using the Manual entry can be helpful for those activities that are not available or found in the other available search options.

Grant Activity
