Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting

The Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting platform was developed with the goals of:

• Empower faculty with a seamless way to track and maintain their academic contributions—automatically gathering and staging relevant data to keep their CVs effortlessly up to date.
• Provide administrators with accurate, real-time insights for workload reporting, accreditation, and faculty activity tracking—eliminating manual processes and ensuring data integrity

A streamlined platform that automatically gathers and organizes faculty activity data—making it easy to track mentorship, publications, coursework, volunteer work, and more. It simplifies reporting, keeps CVs up to date, and supports workload and accreditation needs, all in one place.

The School of Nursing IT team was instrumental in bringing this project to life, with executive sponsorship from Abbey Schwarz and faculty representation from Andreas Brockhaus. The School of Nursing IT Director, Brad Coston provided key support, while Jeremy Peters engineered the integration that seamlessly connected Interfolio to the University of Washington Enterprise Data Warehouse. Collaborating closely with UW IT, the team streamlined data retrieval and built the essential connectors—ensuring a smooth, efficient experience from end to end.

The Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting project began in January 2023, with a successful go-live in September 2024—bringing in a new era of streamlined faculty reporting and academic insights.

Data Integrity & Source of Truth
With the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) containing vast amounts of replicated data, identifying a single, reliable source was critical to ensuring accuracy. This risk was mitigated through close collaboration with UW IT, who served as the escalation point for EDW-related issues. Their expertise helped guide Jeremy Peters in selecting the correct data source, ensuring consistency and reliability across the platform.
