IRAP Rutgers Faculty Survey

OIRAP


	Rutgers Faculty Survey
	The Office of Institutional Research and Academic Planning (OIRAP) is responsible for the administration of the Rutgers Faculty Survey (FS) to all full-time faculty at the University. Faculty can complete the instrument on-line via a WEB application. Instructions are provided on how to complete the FS on-line. The University’s faculty survey is the primary instrument for collecting data on the accomplishments of our faculty. It has been a valuable resource for enumerating and chronicling the intellectual and service activities of Rutgers faculty to both internal and external audiences. In 2005, OIRAP revamped the survey significantly by improving the data collection process, making provision for additional data, and creating a system that now enables you to directly access and output your information in various formats. The new Faculty Survey offers some immediate benefits, including: A single point of data entry that now allows faculty to use data entered in the FS for other university reporting needs, such as academic reappointments and promotions. An entirely web-enabled process involving a paperless data collection environment. Data from your CV can be pasted directly into the input screens of the appropriate categories of the FS. Continuous and secure access to personal data, so that each faculty member will be able to enter and revise their data at any time during the year. Direct retrieval of individual data so that each faculty member will be able to retrieve a record of personal information from a variety of predefined formats for personal use (e.g., for creating individual CVs and completing grant forms such as the PHS 398 BioSketch used in NIH grants). Integration with other data sources, such as the list of courses taught by each faculty member, found in the Course Analysis System, and the Student Instructional Rating Forms (coming soon). In completing the survey you will be asked whether you would like to participate in the "Media Experts" and "Speaker’s Bureau" programs. The Media Experts program enables reporters to search for a faculty member or specialist with credentials in a news topic and then contact that person directly or through the Office of Media Relations. The Speaker’s Bureau enables community groups to identify a faculty member or specialist by area of interest or research, and then submit a request for that speaker for their event. To access the new faculty survey, you will need your NetId username and password. Currently, the application works with Internet Explorer, Netscape versions 8.x and 7.x, and Firefox (available here).
