In both cases participation and leadership in program project grants and training grants should be demonstrated. Teaching excellence should be evident through the faculty member s teaching portfolio. Teaching creativity through course development, contributions to text books and other teaching materials. Extension personnel should show continued development of outreach educational documents, for example, development of online courses and distance learning. Evidence of leadership in collaborative interdisciplinary teaching.
Toxicology is a highly interdisciplinary field.
The Department of Toxicology employs within its ranks scientists with advanced degrees in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, veterinary medicine, fish and wildlife and pathology. Thus, CRTF in toxicology shall consider that scholarly contribution is also interdisciplinary and shall be conducted with the philosophy of a faculty member s contributions to the application of toxicological concepts in a manner that bridges the various basic sciences that represent the respective disciplines of the faculty. It is highly appropriate for toxicology professionals to publish in scientific journals with scopes outside of the field of toxicology per se. Toxicology professionals therefore, publish in journals with scopes of biology, biochemistry, health, cancer, environmental sciences, marine and acquatic sciences and veterinary journals. The above 5 criteria are deemed appropriate for CRTF at both the Assistant and Full Professor levels.
