Description
Summary:An article is presented which evaluates factors that influence junior faculty in the pursuit of grants across disciplines at a research university. Results suggest that junior faculty, who acquire some grant training as a part of their doctoral or postdoctoral program, still require some faculty development in the grant process. Moreover, for the junior faculty who participated in this study, barriers include teaching loads and inadequate support while motivators include creating new knowledge and tenure decisions. Administrators can assist junior faculty by having a clear understanding of the factors that motivate or hinder their particular faculty in the grant seeking process.
