Creating an Integrative IU Indianapolis P&T CV

Creating an Integrative IU Indianapolis P&T CV

The IU Indianapolis P&T process has very important and specific rules for CVs for promotion and/or tenure candidates. The campus committee reviews over 150 cases each year, and it is important to have visual consistency across cases. Detailed instructions are included in the IU Indianapolis P&T Guidelines: Charts, Templates, and Other Guides document.  

If you have all your information in Elements, this is a relatively easy process. If you are not up to date in Elements, use it to create some of the components, then add whatever is missing.  Elements automatically populates a) current IU appointments, b) courses (back 12 years; older courses are not needed for dossier purposes); c) IU-managed external grants.  Internal IU grants are NOT included.  

(Starting Fall 2025) Elements Method:

Within Elements, go to the Menu -- Reporting tab -- CVs & Individual Reports -- then P&T Academic CV. This is auto-loaded from IU systems—it will be complete even if you don’t have other information in DMAI. Save this (in Word format)

Fine-tune:

• Add any notations that are useful for items: *for in-rank, # for thematic-related items in balanced, integrative cases, and dagger for student co-authors. If you use other notations, explain them for the reader. You may, but do not need to, indicate if some items are particularly relevant to teaching (T), research or creative activity (R/CA), or service (S). 
• Include items that are projects rather than publications—find an appropriate place, and describe them the way they would appear in a work resume (brief description with succinct metrics).
• Check the grants listing:  this will auto-load with any IU-managed grants. Add IU internal grants, and any significant roles in non-IU-managed grants. 
• Delete any extra wording or instructions. 
• Include links to sites/electronic materials if available. 
• Must be uploaded as a Word document or PDF within eDossier.

Non-Elements Method:

Step one: Use the Elements CV = to generate a course/teaching listing

Step two: use other systems to generate lists of:

• Grants: use Element or the IU grants management system to generate a list of your grants. The list must include PI name, grant name, funder (and details if not obvious), your status, grant total, your amount if different, begin and end dates, and percent effort if appropriate.
• Professional development:  these are activities you have attended. Presentations you have provided yourself as the instructor are listed either as presentations or as non-course teaching items.

Step three: paste courses, grants, and professional development into a disciplinary CV.

Fine-tune as above.
