FCIP Guiding Principles Simplicity Each faculty member should understand and be able to explain the principles guiding how he or she is compensated Positively correlate productivity with compensation Progressively reward high performing faculty members across all missions while establishing accountability, covering appropriate overhead and addressing any productivity outliers More clearly define clinical and academic performance expectations, the relevant metrics and corresponding incentives 4

FCIP Overview 5

Incentive Structure: Qualifications Faculty members will have a total FTE of 0.5 or higher to be eligible to participate. Within each mission area, you must either be 50% clinical effort, 50% research effort and/or 20% education effort to be eligible. Plan participation includes faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor. Administrative effort up to 10% for clinical, research and education for all faculty members Research salary support assessment begins after last year of ramp- up time (12-month rolling average calculation with potential for extended period based on scored, but not funded grant submission). 6

Challenges We are expected to “manage to a margin” we do not control. Examples: Net patient care and grants and contracts revenue projections are increased for “non-productive faculty” Depreciation expense Overall School of Medicine or academic enterprise targets Individual incentives are calculated and distributed by the Provost’s Office. We only partially control up to 20% of the incentive distributed. Not all faculty effort is paid at the same rate. 9
