Progress in Implementing Innovation and Entrepreneurship Criteria into Promotions and Tenure

Advocacy, Equity and Societal Impact

Launched in 2019 with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Promotions and Tenure Innovation and Entrepreneurship (PTIE) Coalition is pursuing a more inclusive assessment of scholarship and creative activity. The goal is to better recognize and reward innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) and promotion and tenure (P&T) process in higher education nationwide. In 2020, more than 75 universities and national organizations joined the PTIE Coalition and approved recommendations to include I&E achievements in faculty P&T criteria. In this session, we’ll review the successes, metrics for tracking progress, and key lessons learned from multiple institutions that have begun implementing the PTIE recommendations.
