Session Description: 

Literature shows that there is many published research on faculty development that gears towards teaching (Mohr & Shelton, 2017; Martin et al., 2019; Berry, 2018). However, teaching is not the only expectation from faculty members. Many colleges and universities struggle to make more faculty write and publish research. In fact, faculty tenure and university accreditations also depend on the number of research published. Universities have conducted endless training, and seminars but the chance to make more faculty do actual research and publish is slim. And yet, those who have become successful in their first publication seem to have been set from a launching pad and they become consistent researchers that publish annually from that first success. This presentation is an accumulation of best practices for universities to design faculty development programs that are geared towards research.
