摘要
AIM The aim of the study was to better understand the scholarship requirements and support for nursing faculty as they work to advance their scholarship and careers. BACKGROUND Nursing faculty are often required to participate in teaching, service, and scholarship. New faculty often struggle with the scholarship component. METHOD A nationwide Delphi study was conducted, surveying deans and/or associate deans for research at master's and doctoral degree-granting institutions. RESULTS Scholarly requirements provided for faculty to enable development of scholarship were well defined: having a dedicated leader; funding support; a culture of scholarship; publications, presentations, and grant writing expectations; formal programs; mentors; and support. CONCLUSION This study provided a beginning understanding of important aspects of faculty support for scholarship and career development. More information is needed to determine if the support structures and activities described reach faculty and enhance career development.
