Office of the Provost

Dear Faculty,

We are excited to announce that the Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR) system is in its final stages of configuration and will soon be ready for faculty access as part of our phased implementation. Over the last several months, the implementation team has worked diligently to configure the system, migrate data from HuskyDM, and set up new integrations with our university systems.

Phase 1: Faculty Data Validation

On October 1, 2024, you will gain access to the system to review and validate your data. Please note, there are some known instances where data may be missing or incomplete due to historical issues with older systems. We encourage you to take this time to carefully review your information, particularly before the reporting periods in the spring. Additionally, you will need to review and accept data imported through Interfolio’s Data Services including sources like PubMed and SCOPUS. Our team will be available throughout the fall to troubleshoot and answer any questions you may have.

Phase 2: Building Administrative Reports

Throughout the fall semester, the implementation team will work to build and finalize institutional level templates such as forms for the PTR/PR process. We will also work with individual units to assist in building templates for any unique reporting needs.

Info Session & Training Opportunities

To help you navigate the new system, we are offering several opportunities for guidance:

• Virtual Info Session: Join us on October 1 at 2:00pm for a virtual live overview of the system and Q&A. This session will be recorded and posted on our webpage for future reference. The session will be oriented for faculty users but is open to all to attend.
• Interfolio Led Training Sessions: We will also be hosting two training sessions led by Interfolio experts. These sessions will focus on the faculty experience and user interface. Additional sessions will be offered in the future.

• October 16: 2:00-3:00 pm

• October 21: 12:00-1:00pm

To RSVP for any of the above sessions or to find more information and resources please visit the Interfolio @ UConn webpage. You may also reach out to interfolio@uconn.edu with any questions or for assistance from the implementation team.

We look forward to working with you during this transition and appreciate your patience as we continue to build out reporting features and administrative tools in Phase 2.
