Beckman policies for faculty members
Elements of good standing
Beckman Institute faculty members must meet specific requirements in order to remain in good standing and have a faculty appointment renewed.
Good standing at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology entails:
- Research productivity (papers and patents/licenses)
- Research excellence (honors and awards)
- Research funding (productivity per square footage assigned at the Beckman Institute)
- A strong record of collaboration that includes:
- Having a regular presence at the institute
- Publishing research that is co-authored with Beckman faculty
- Submitting collaborative grants through Beckman for work done at the institute, with the general expectation that full-time members will have 50-100% of their sponsored research activity administered by the institute, and part-time members will have more than 25% of their sponsored research activity run through the institute. Collaborative grants administered by the institute are defined as grant proposals that are (1) multi-investigator teams that involve at least two different home departments and (2) submitted through the Beckman Institute grants office
- Listing the Beckman Institute as an affiliated organization in publications and/or presentations in which a portion of the work presented was done at the institute and/or in its shared facilities
