The Scan of Promising Efforts to Broaden Faculty Reward Systems to Support Societally-Impactful Research outlines strategies that—by better rewarding publicly facing research—may help universities retain talented faculty, deepen public trust, and increase the impact of their research on issues of global and local significance. This white paper also offers options for funders to accelerate universities’ efforts to expand promotion and tenure while strengthening the broader infrastructure for community- and policy-engaged research. In collaboration with a working group of the Transforming Evidence Funders Network, a cross-disciplinary funder network coordinated through the Evidence Project at The Pew Charitable Trusts, Carnegie Corporation of New York commissioned this paper.
