The faculty director of Research Development offers support for all stages of a research project, including formulating the project, identifying funding sources, applying for grants, and publishing. Much of the time, these services take the form of consultations between the director and individual scholars.

Assistance and advice provided during consultations are confidential and are not connected to College evaluation processes.

The director also hosts Research Development Programs that bring together groups of faculty with related research interests or at similar career stages to discuss issues of mutual concern. 

The Faculty Directors of Research and Teaching Development collaborate to integrate teaching and research. Together with the Committee on Research and the Grants Office, the Faculty Director of Research Development facilitates the research activities of faculty at all stages in their careers.
