Undergraduate Training Tables

OMB Number 0925-0001 and 0925-0002 (Rev. 3/20 Approved Through 02/28/2023)

Table 2. Participating Faculty Members

Rationale

This information allows reviewers to assess the distribution of participating faculty by rank (junior vs. senior), by research interests, and by department or interdepartmental program. In addition, data on the mentoring records of faculty permit an evaluation of the experience of participating faculty in facilitating the progression of undergraduates in their careers. The data concisely summarizes information about the training faculty.

Instructions

List participating faculty in alphabetical order by last name. For each participating faculty member, provide:

1. Name. Include the full name in the format Last Name, First Name and Middle Initial.

2. Degree(s). Provide the faculty member’s terminal degree(s).

3. Rank. Provide the academic rank held by each faculty (e.g., Asst. Prof. for Assistant Professor, Assoc. Prof. for Associate Professor, Prof. for Professor, Res. Asst. Prof. for Research Assistant Professor, Instructor). For training grant faculty holding non-academic positions, such as those in government or in the private sector, report “Other,” followed by their title.

4. Primary Department or Program. List the primary affiliation (department, interdepartmental program, or other academic unit).

5. Research Interest. Provide the faculty member’s research interest relevant to the proposed training program.

6. Training Role. Provide up to three role(s) for each faculty in the proposed training program, selected from the following options: PD/PI, Preceptor, Executive Committee member (Exec. Comm.), Other Committee member (Other Comm.), Other.

Mentoring Record (Items 7-12). For the last 10 years, provide the record for mentoring undergraduate students who have been or are currently engaged in research training under the faculty member’s primary supervision.

7. Undergraduates in Training. Provide the number of undergraduates who are currently in training under the faculty member’s supervision.

8. Undergraduates Graduated. Provide the number of undergraduates who were awarded their Bachelor’s degree during the last 10 years.

9. Undergraduates Continued in Research or Related Careers. Provide the number of undergraduates who pursued doctoral (biomedical or behavioral PhD and or combined-PhD) degree(s) during the last 10 years.

Summarize these data in the Research Training Program Plan, within the Background Section and the Program Faculty Section of the Program Plan. Use the narrative to describe the distribution of participating faculty by academic rank, department or interdepartmental program, areas of research emphasis, and the rationale for the faculty selected to participate in the training grant. Analyze the data in terms of the overall experience of the faculty in training undergraduates. Comment on the inclusion of faculty whose mentoring records may suggest limited recent training experience at the undergraduate level.
