Appointment, promotion and tenure are tremedously important to faculty. Excerpts from Section 4.3.2 of the College of Medicine and Public Health Appointments, Promotion and Tenure document state:
"Scholarship is broadly defined to include research, scholarly and creative work [Ref:47-02(A)]. More specifically scholarship may be defined to include the possession, application, and advancement of a body of knowledge gained through research, study, and learning
Evidence of scholarship can include: original books and monographs, edited books, chapters in edited books, bulletins and technical reports, peer reviewed journal articles, editor reviewed journal articles, reviews and abstracts, papers in proceedings, unpublished scholarly presentations, funded research, funded training grants, other funding for academic work, prizes and awards for research or scholarly or creative work, major professional awards and commendations. Evidence of scholarship can also include invited lectures at other universities, symposia, and conferences; patents, software systems; editorship of a major collection of research work; conducting advanced seminars and symposia under organizational sponsorship; and invitations to serve on national review bodies."
