5. Demonstrated ability to inspire others to pursue independent scholarly research activities, through work with residents, medical students, and colleagues on collaborative projects, or as mentors in a variety of other settings. 6. Local, regional, national or foundation grant support for independent investigative clinical studies and clinical trials. Impactful investigator-initiated, NIH or cooperative group multicenter trials provide strong evidence of scholarship and national standing. Pharmaceutical trials that aim to move the field forward are also highly regarded. Phase IV and derivative pharmaceutical trials are generally given less weight. 7. Supporting letters obtained from colleagues within the university and outside of the College of Medicine. More weight is given to letters from individuals who are experts in the field and who can provide objective, arms-length critiques of the candidate. In general, these individuals are not collaborators, former mentors, or students of the applicant. 8. High level participation in national meetings, including invitations to present research, chair sessions, and speak in high profile settings. Evidence of excellence in teaching include: 1. The types of teaching/mentoring activities in which the faculty member participates, including the number of hours per week of supervision of residents and medical students, evidence of formal didactic activities such as lectures at institutional teaching conferences, departmental grand rounds, basic science lectures, national presentations, and other teaching and consulting lectures throughout the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, the city of Cincinnati, and other institutions across the nation. Clinical teaching also typically includes activities associated with experiential learning for students and fellows (i.e. at the bedside, in clinics, operating rooms). 2. Evaluations from students, residents, and peers. Specific methods and objective criteria for evaluation of teaching/mentoring must be employed by each department. 3. Description of administrative activities of the faculty member with regard to teaching, including the development and organization of new and innovative teaching or evaluation methods, directorship of a medical student clerkship or of a residency program, as well as participation on departmental, college, and national education committees. 4. Contributions to the intellectual community within a department, the college or nation through interactions with colleagues, residents, and students. The candidate may also contribute to educational program building of student’s and resident’s curricula.
