<p><span style="text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold;">Scholarly  Activity</span> is not limited to only basic or clinical research achievements but reflects the applicant’s contributions to the profession.</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px;">
<li>Prepare the narrative in chronological order to illustrate how one activity leads to the next so that any reviewer will be able to sense the sustained or outstanding record.</li>
<li>Grants that have been submitted but not funded may be included to show the early development and discuss the changes based on the grant evaluation comments.</li>
<li>When describing grants, you need demonstrate the sustained growth from “seed” to small intramural to extramural funding. Include your role/contribution to each grant. Outcomes or publications are expected to be generated from grants and are the supportive evidence of the scholarly activity accomplishments.</li>
<li>Presentations (paper or posters) may be an intermediate step of findings dissemination but published articles with you as first author are preferable.</li>
<li>If your focus of scholarly activity has changed—describe this but try to demonstrate how one area lead to the next area or what you are contributing to the next area based on expertise (e.g. computer technology for data collection may have been expanded in a second project to include intervention delivery). Making connections between different projects will support “a sustained” or “outstanding” record.</li>
<li>After you achieved terminal degree (PhD or EdD) you may want to explain how you transitioned into the scholarly activity focus area. This will again support the building of the sustained or outstanding record.</li>
<li>Scholarly activities can be connected with a professional organization in terms of development or revisions of practice guidelines or organizing symposiums/conferences.</li>
