The faculty scholarship web application is intended to facilitate reporting certain types of work first published, produced, or performed in calendar year 2016 by full-time professorial faculty at each CUNY college. The web application is currently available and faculty may begin entering data. The application is the same as in prior years with the list of faculty updated to reflect those active in 2016.
The following types of work may be reported:

Full-time professorial faculty who were active in both the spring and fall of calendar year 2016 are designated as “mandatory” and are required to report, even if it is just to indicate “No Work to Report.” Full-time professorial faculty who were active one semester, but not both, and other kinds of full- time faculty are not required to report, but may report their scholarship. If you do not find your name (or the name of the faculty member on whose behalf you are reporting) in the drop-down list and wish to add scholarship, add your name manually in the appropriate box. Any names added manually are, by definition, considered “optional” reporters. Please note that the mandatory/optional designations are based on data available from the CUNYfirst system at the time the list was generated in early 2017.

- There are three types of reports available from the web application:
- View Entries report (listing of entries submitted to date)

For example, at some colleges, support staff for a given department may be charged with entering scholarship/creative activity for the faculty members of that department (usually working from faculty CVs). Please make sure that all faculty and staff who will be entering the information into the web application have a copy of these instructions.
Note: Some colleges have elected to use an Excel collection template instead of the web-based collection tool. Please contact your Provost’s office if you have any questions about which tool to use.
