Administrators seek faculty who have the expertise to secure external funding to support their research agenda. Administrators also seek strategies to support and enhance faculty productivity across different ranks. In this manuscript, we describe the infrastructure we established and strategies we implemented to enhance the research enterprise at the college level. We situate this work using a framework developed by Wedman and Graham (Wedman 2008; Wedman, 2010) which outlines critical components of developing an organization that values, supports, and develops expertise related to securing external funding.
