Project Phases

Phase I - Setting the Foundation (Early to Summer 2022 through Fall 2022)

This phase of the Faculty 180 project will focus on identifying, mapping, and reviewing system integrations between Faculty 180, the UC San Diego Research Activity Hub (RAH), and Interfolio Data Services (IDS).

Phase II - System Preparation and Testing (Late Fall 2022 through Winter 2023)

This phase of the Faculty 180 project will focus on initial data uploads from RAH and IDS into Faculty 180, identification of an initial Faculty 180 pilot testing group, and collection of pilot group feedback.

Phase III - Adjustment and Evaluation (Spring 2023 through Summer 2023)

This phase of the Faculty 180 project will focus on evaluating pilot group feedback and identifying needed integration adjustments for improved usability. At this time a determination will be made as to the need of additional pilot group testing.
