FAR is an online tool that allows faculty members to track their academic accomplishments, including past, recently submitted, and current work. The data entered can then be used to populate public web pages, find collaborators, generate CVs and NSF/NIH Bio Sketches and run other reports that are requested.

FAR Features

• Add, edit and delete records at any time throughout the year
• Some UGA activity is automatically loaded into FAR so you do not have to do it (e.g., contact info, yearly appointments, education, and courses). Information on contracts and grants, patents, and workload will soon be automatically loaded as well.
• Easily generate a CV based off of the data in the system and save your document in PDF, Word, or Spreadsheet format
