Data & Impact

The Faculty Data and Impact team at the Office of Faculty Affairs, in partnership with the technical group at the Office of Data Analytics, are the stewards of the Faculty Information System (FIS), the system of record used to track and manage faculty information including key career milestones, professional activities, research interests, and other business-critical data at CU Boulder. FIS has integrations with existing campus systems of record, serves as a reliable source of validated information about faculty activity, and allows faculty to see the full picture of their contributions through a wide offering of tools and services.

• Providing training and support for annual Faculty Report of Professional Activities (FRPA)
• Claiming and cataloging publications and creative works in CU Boulder Elements (CUBE)
• Promoting public profile and professional visibility of CU Boulder faculty via CU Experts
• Assessing the impact of the research and creative work of our faculty with tools such as:
  
  • Dimensions
