Strategies for building faculty research programs in institutions that are not research intensive.

Colleges and universities without the resources of research-intensive universities face a special challenge to support faculty research. If doctorally prepared faculty are to assume. leadership roles in developing nursing science, deans must be responsive to faculty members' individual and collective responsibility to be active researchers. This article describes efforts on the part of two nursing programs, one in a private and one in a public university, to create an environment that nurtures scholarship of nursing faculty members at these institutions.
