Faculty development has a central, if perhaps underappreciated, role to play in research capacity building. While many faculty members and students develop research skills through formal graduate degree programs such as a Master’s or PhD degree, faculty development programs can help to extend the research skills of those who have already undertaken graduate studies and develop these skills in individuals for whom a formal graduate program is not an option. This chapter reviews evidence from the literature about effective approaches to research capacity building through faculty development, with a focus on innovative approaches and case studies of successful programs.
