Creativity involves the origination of new ideas or practices. 2026-10-29 14:20:07 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Re-sharing Margaret's link of the document for those who joined us later: https://ucdavis.box.com/s/sdp2g9wn34yspeu2mf2qlllc6glw3sdh 2026-10-29 14:22:15 From Kitty Oppliger (she/hers) to Everyone: If a UC Program team/workgroup that I’m a part of requests that I give a presentation, is that Professional Comp or University Service? 2026-10-29 14:22:31 From Cindy Kron to Everyone: Couldn’t liaison to the commodity board also be University Service? 2026-10-29 14:22:32 From Monica Palta to Everyone: I was a bit confused about this category because a lot of activities that counted as "service" when I was a professor are counted as "professional competence and activity" at ANR. As far as I understand, reviewing manuscripts for journals and serving on grad student committees are not service, but professional competence/activity, correct? Or can these activities count as service, too? 2026-10-29 14:25:12 From Monica Palta to Everyone: One more question: Can a presentation at a conference also count as "research" since, similar to a publication, you are disseminating research results? 2026-10-29 14:26:44 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: This element: university students, hosting student field trips is a core of my role as an AC, should I put in University service still? 2026-10-29 14:28:26 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "One more question: Can a presentation at a confere...": I agree with Margaret's statement! Monica Palta:👍 2026-10-29 14:29:06 From Aparna Gazula to Everyone: Replying to "One more question: Can a presentation at a confere...": The abstract can be listed in the bibliography Monica Palta, Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR:👍 2026-10-29 14:30:09 From Kait Murray (she/they) to Everyone: Replying to "This element: university students, hosting student...": I think this would go under the new AC tab/tags now… I think 🙂 2026-10-29 14:30:16 From Idongesit Mokwunye to Everyone: Replying to "One more question: Can a presentation at a confere...": How can this be listed 2026-10-29 14:31:23 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "This element: university students, hosting student...": Yes, as discussed, if students include your clientele (and core assignment per Position Description). 2026-10-29 14:31:24 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: Replying to "This element: university students, hosting student...": Thanks, Kait 2026-10-29 14:31:46 From Natalie Levy (UC ANR) to Everyone: What about mentoring an undergraduate UC student as part of a Research Experience for Undergraduate program hosted at a UC campus? Kitty Oppliger (she/hers):👍 2026-10-29 14:32:03 From Jennie Lane to Everyone: Is serving on an advisory board for a project PI'd by a UCANR faculty considered university service? 2026-10-29 14:32:04 From Kitty Oppliger (she/hers) to Everyone: Replying to "What about mentoring an undergraduate UC student a...": I listed this as University service Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR:👍 2026-10-29 14:32:56 From Patricia Lazicki to Everyone: Do we list letters of support provided to UC professors for grant proposals? 2026-10-29 14:33:22 From Daniela Bruno to Everyone: back to the "Evidence of Professional Competence": what if you are invited to review proposals for state funding but your program gets "paid" for that? IS it still Evidence of Professional Competence? Natalie Levy (UC ANR):👍 2026-10-29 14:34:04 From Cindy Kron to Everyone: Where would you put applying for and having an intern for the summer that is working on a specific project with you that is unfunded but benefits your program and you are mentoring 2026-10-29 14:34:23 From Aparna Gazula to Everyone: Replying to "back to the "Evidence of Professional Competence":...": It is still considered as professional competence. 2026-10-29 14:35:03 From Hamutahl Cohen to Everyone: I assume that UC service to another campus (but not at UC ANR) is still University Service? For example, hiring committee for a postdoc at UC Merced. Is this correct? 2026-10-29 14:35:23 From Daniela Bruno to Everyone: Thank you! 2026-10-29 14:36:01 From Aparna Gazula to Everyone: Replying to "Where would you put applying for and having an int...": If there was professional development or mentoring of the intern beyond the project work then it can be listed in university service 2026-10-29 14:36:19 From Hamutahl Cohen to Everyone: Thank you! 2026-10-29 14:38:43 From Hamutahl Cohen to Everyone: Could Committee Member for a Non-UC graduate student (e.g. masters student committee at a Cal Poly) be Professional Competence? Or should it be in Public Service? 2026-10-29 14:40:17 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: I was invited by CDFA Director of Sustainability to present about our work in Sacramento to their staff, can I include this as Public Service? 2026-10-29 14:40:59 From Aparna Gazula to Everyone: Replying to "I was invited by CDFA Director of Sustainability t...": It could also go under professional competence 2026-10-29 14:41:51 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: Climate Smart Ag 2026-10-29 14:44:04 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: The Director read our research and invited me to talk to the staff in 2025, because they were rolling out the climate Bond Grants this year, 2026 2026-10-29 14:44:27 From Cindy Kron to Everyone: If a new advisor has meetings for the needs assessment, where should they list these if at all? 2026-10-29 14:44:57 From Gwenael Engelskirchen to Everyone: I participate as an Academic Coordinator on a funded project that involves many, regularly scheduled meetings with collaborators to design, coordinate, and implement the project deliverables. Would it be appropriate to describe these recurring meetings, their purpose and how they contribute to my program as a single line in my table? So, not listing every meeting over the course of two years, but include the meetings as one comprehensive activity "block" and explain how they were necessary to accomplish XYZ? Or does this still fall under the "do not list" category? 2026-10-29 14:46:28 From Kitty Oppliger (she/hers) to Everyone: Replying to "I participate as an Academic Coordinator on a fund...": This sounds to me like part of Research/creative activity? 2026-10-29 14:46:30 From Kait Murray (she/they) to Everyone: Replying to "I participate as an Academic Coordinator on a fund...": I think this would go under the new AC tab/coordination of program… and my understanding is that they should be block reported? That’s my understanding, not 110% positive! 🙂 Kitty Oppliger (she/hers), Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR:👍 2026-10-29 14:46:48 From Idongesit Mokwunye to Everyone: where do you list meeting organized for clientele for needs assessment 2026-10-29 14:47:23 From Kitty Oppliger (she/hers) to Everyone: Aproject in creative activity 2026-10-29 14:47:43 From Kitty Oppliger (she/hers) to Everyone: Most new advisors have Needs Assessment as a theme 2026-10-29 14:48:09 From Monica Palta to Everyone: If a presentation you gave (e.g., for a seminar series) is posted on YouTube by the organizers, does this count as an extension "alt. publication" or professional competence? 2026-10-29 14:48:18 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "I participate as an Academic Coordinator on a fund...": These activities perfectly match the new AC coordinator table, e.g., under Liaison representation with other agencies and institutions in the public and private sectors. Always nice to summarize a number of different meetings. 2026-10-29 14:48:18 From Elizabeth Fichtner to Everyone: The needs assessment meetings feel a little similar to having meetings for cost and return studies. I just list the cost and return studies in my bibliography and I don't mention the meeting w/ clientele to gather the data. Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR:👍 Aparna Gazula:👍🏽 2026-10-29 14:50:23 From Natalie Levy (UC ANR) to Everyone: For the other activities category would this include blog articles or social media posts that UC ANR Strategic Communications have done about your work? If not, where can those go? 2026-10-29 14:50:32 From Ana Maria Pastrana Leon to Everyone: For YouTube videos, which date would you use: the date the video was recorded or the date it was posted? Editing and making the video accessible can take some time, so it may not be published until after the reporting period. 2026-10-29 14:50:57 From Aparna Gazula to Everyone: Replying to "For YouTube videos, which date would you use: the ...": I have usually listed the date it was posted 2026-10-29 14:50:58 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "The needs assessment meetings feel a little simila...": can also describe the level of engagement and number of individual clientele meetings for the needs assessment in the narrative. 2026-10-29 14:53:49 From Gwenael Engelskirchen to Everyone: What if I am involved in guiding/supporting presentations and TA delivered by a staff person in my program, but I am not the supervisor of this staff person? Could I still include this under the subcategory “presentations by staff"? 2026-10-29 14:55:26 From Aparna Gazula to Everyone: Replying to "What if I am involved in guiding/supporting presen...": My understanding is that the “presentations by staff” is for supervisors or academics that are leading that programmatic work 2026-10-29 14:55:50 From Monica Palta to Everyone: I have heard that the majority of activities if you are in an academic position (advisor or specialist) should fall under the research and extension categories. Is this accurate? 2026-10-29 14:56:42 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "I have heard that the majority of activities if yo...": Early career emphasis is on research and extension for CE academics. Balance among review criteria is expected at Associate rank. Monica Palta, Mohammad Maharlooei, Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR:👍 2026-10-29 14:57:16 From Gwenael Engelskirchen to Everyone: Replying to "What if I am involved in guiding/supporting presen...": Thanks, Aparna! I am the academic leading this area of programmatic work, but not the person's supervisor. 2026-10-29 14:57:26 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "I have heard that the majority of activities if yo...": Some efforts in all categories is expected, though. (eBook). You don't need to be a service hero in your early career (my words). Monica Palta, Mohammad Maharlooei:👍 2026-10-29 14:58:43 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Replying to "What if I am involved in guiding/supporting presen...": you could add that information in the table, transparency is always good. 2026-10-29 14:59:41 From Kitty Oppliger (she/hers) to Everyone: Thank you, Margaret! 2026-10-29 14:59:55 From Monica Palta to Everyone: I have to leave for another meeting, but this was so helpful, thank you!! 2026-10-29 15:00:33 From Marisa A Coyne (she/her) to Everyone: Thank you Margaret!! Have to pop off for another meeting! 2026-10-29 15:01:50 From Lexie Wilson - UC OAI to Everyone: Thanks Margaret! Very helpful! 2026-10-29 15:03:22 From Gaelle Chanlot to Everyone: So helpful! Thank you Margaret 2026-10-29 15:03:32 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: My Primary PD is projects on Climate; However, I support research on two other Projects outside of my work as voluntary 1) UC Organic Institute and UC Davis Irrigation. Where do these belong, coz I am primary author 2026-10-29 15:04:49 From Samuel Ikendi to Everyone: For Irrigation - I am an Evaluator; for Organic is Pure Research - we have publications 2026-10-29 15:05:40 From Ana Maria Pastrana Leon to Everyone: Thanks, Margaret! you are the best! 2026-10-29 15:05:42 From ZinThuZar Maung to Everyone: Thank you, Margaret! 2026-10-29 15:06:09 From Gwenael Engelskirchen to Everyone: Great session - thank you so much! 2026-10-29 15:06:28 From Andy Lyons (UC ANR) to Everyone: Thanks, this was very helpful! 2026-10-29 15:06:28 From Mohammad Maharlooei to Everyone: Thank you Margaret. it was really informative. 2026-10-29 15:08:11 From Daniel Obrist | University of California ANR to Everyone: Thank you, Margaret and Aparna! 2026-10-29 15:08:18 From Li Schmidt to Everyone: Thank you! 2026-10-29 15:08:22 From Idongesit Mokwunye to Everyone: Thank you 2026-10-29 15:08:39 From Natalie Levy (UC ANR) to Everyone: Thank you! 2026-10-29 15:13:51 From Daniela Bruno to Everyone: Thank you. 2026-10-29 15:14:21 From Daniela Bruno to Everyone: Good idea 2026-10-29 15:16:33 From Evan Talmage to Everyone: etalmage@ucop.edu
