FAR Content

Your FAR, together with your curriculum vitae and additional information, including your appointment history, courses taught (with enrollments), certain University committees, leave history, and sponsored research (as applicable), which comes directly from university records will be available to your department chair and to the SEAS Dean’s Office to guide the annual review process.
SEAS will use the FAR form based on recommendations by the 2019 FAS Faculty Activity Committee.
Detailed Guidance
- Publications that have a copyright date and/or publication date of 2025 should be included in your FAR. If a scholarly piece was made available electronically by a journal or a publisher in 2025 before it was scheduled to appear in print (e.g., “e-pub ahead of print”), you may list it on the 2025 FAR, however, a scholarly accomplishment should be included in only one year’s FAR.
- Works that have not been published in their final form electronically or in print should be recognized in the year in which they are copyrighted and/or published.
- Please be sure to describe activities that may not be reflected in our system-generated records or are not readily apparent in your curriculum vitae. This may include details on mentoring of colleagues (faculty and post-doctoral fellows); student advising and mentoring, both formal and informal; research and publications in process; guest lectures and conferences within and outside Yale; and service – both formal and informal – to the department, school, University, your profession, and your community.
- We recognize that many faculty have continued to face circumstances that have affected their research and teaching. Please feel free to describe briefly particular challenges that you have faced as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
