Office for Faculty Development
The Office for Faculty Development (OFD) supports and facilitates the career growth and development of the Dana-Farber faculty. Specifically, the goals of the OFD are to:
- Support the career development of all faculty at Dana-Farber;
- Enhance the diversity of faculty and faculty leadership;
- Help ensure a positive faculty work environment through such strategies as mentoring programs and work/life balance initiatives.
OFD promotes the career development of faculty by offering career-enhancing seminars and information on professional development, awards programs, and promotions. A primary focus of the OFD is expanding mentoring opportunities for faculty. In addition, two faculty committees focus on issues of clinical faculty and women faculty. Currently, they are addressing issues such as professional development, faculty recruitment/retention, promotion, and work-life balance.
Gloria Spivak Faculty Advancement Fund
A flagship effort of the OFD, The Gloria Spivak Faculty Advancement Fund provides needed funding to faculty awardees encountering family challenges that could otherwise hinder their scientific work.
