Faculty Activities Data: Telling Y(Our) Story
University CV Report
All campus-level evaluations require faculty to submit their curriculum vitae (CV) in the official University CV format. This format is mandatory for all candidates undergoing promotion and tenure review. Beginning with the 2025–2026 academic year, this updated template will be the required format for promotion processes. Candidates may annotate their CVs to provide additional context (e.g., identifying student authors, indicating the order of authorship) and may remove irrelevant content (e.g., certain publication types or activities not applicable to their discipline).
For best results, prepare your CV in the official CV format using the preconfigured "University CV" report available in Faculty Success. This tool allows you to easily generate your CV in either PDF or Word format. If you choose the Word option, you can further refine and finalize the document as needed.
Recent Enhancements to the University CV Report
Exclude unwanted appointments: Faculty can now choose to exclude specific appointment records from appearing in their CV:
Navigate to the Appointments at UMD (Imported Data) activity screen.
Open any appointment record you wish to exclude.
Select the “Exclude from University CV” checkbox and save.
These records will no longer appear the next time you generate your CV.
Brief descriptions in citations (in progress): Many activity records now support two types of descriptions:
A brief description, suitable for concise inclusion in the University CV.
An expanded description, used in other reports such as annual activity reviews.
This allows for greater flexibility in tailoring the content of your CV while maintaining richer detail for other reporting needs. The brief description will be included in the University CV; the one exception is the Professional and Extension Education activity screen,
Include Total Anticipated Amount with Awards: Beginning in late 2024, the Office of Research Administration (ORA) started including Total Anticipated Dollars in the Kuali Research data integrated with Faculty Success.
For awards with activity in 2024 and 2025, this value now appears on the ORA-Managed Awards and the Active ORA-Managed Awards activity screens.
It is automatically included in the University CV to provide a more complete picture of externally funded research.
The percent faculty share is now also included in the University CV.
