Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) and the larger, land‐grant research‐focused universities all share the mission of teaching, research and service. While the mix between each component is shifted to focus more on teaching than medical or research‐intensive institutions, the range of research, teaching and service expectations is diverse. Likewise, the factors at PUIs that add into tenure and promotion (PT) expectations are equally diverse. For PUI biochemistry and molecular biology faculty, an understanding of these expectations informs external evaluations, internal decisions on tenure and promotion and assessment of the productivity of a department. Unfortunately there is no source to identify the standards and trends of peer institutions. This creates confusion when finding the level of activities for peer institutions and diminishes the ability to communicate a clear way to move forward for PT and program evaluation for PUIs. Our goal is to begin to collect information on factors used in individual and program evaluation in terms of faculty research productivity, teaching assessment, and level of service expectation. We would also like to determine common methods to support probationary faculty in establishing evidence for their career progression. We will present the various expectations at a range of institutions, and gather information before, during and after the poster session. The work will be analytics of the collected data will be assessed and disseminated at the 2017 Experimental Biology / ASBMB Annual Meeting.
