Attachment 16:
Faculty Annual
Follow-up Survey

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25
minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing
this burden, to: NIH, Project Clearance Branch, 6705 Rockledge Drive, MSC 7974,
Bethesda, MD 20892-7974, ATTN: PRA (0925-0747). Do not return the completed form
to this address.

As you may recall, you have been selected to be a part of the Enhance Diversity Study, a national study on faculty
and student experiences and career choices. Your school is part of this study, sponsored by the Diversity Program
Consortium, a major national initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health. This effort, the NIH Diversity
Consortium, is seeking to understand what programs and strategies can benefit faculty and their students interested
in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social science fields.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) serves as the coordinating center for this national effort and is in
charge of collecting information about these programs in order to evaluate the extent to which these efforts are
successful in improving outcomes for students and faculty. If we can show benefits, this can increase the likelihood
of continuation and expansion of these efforts.
Your school has provided UCLA your name and contact information because you have previously contributed to this
effort by completing the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) Faculty Survey offered at your institution this
past academic year or you previously completed one of our annual surveys or you participated in a program
sponsored by the Consortium. Only with the continued participation and support of faculty such as yourself will we
be able to determine the value of the various programs offered through your institution to help students succeed.
All of the information you provide will be protected and secured to the extent permitted by law.
In this survey, we will ask you about your activities during this past academic year, including teaching practices,
research, scholarly productivity, and mentoring. You will have the option to upload a document that includes
information about publications or grants (such as a resume or CV) instead of entering this information directly for
each publication or grant in the survey.

Mentoring
This section concerns your experiences with mentoring in a variety of contexts.
A mentor is someone who provides guidance, assistance, and encouragement on professional and
academic issues. A mentor can be either someone who is more experienced (or senior) than you
or someone who is at an educational or professional level similar to you (a “peer”).
A mentee is someone who receives guidance or assistance from a mentor. A mentee can be
someone less experienced (or junior) than you or someone who is your peer.
A mentoring relationship can be formal (with a set schedule and perhaps arranged by your
institution) or informal (with unstructured meetings or independently sought).
