    Abstract:
    Allied health faculty are expected to successfully compete with other academic faculty in the research arena, yet many feel unprepared for this role. Most faculty have been trained as clinicians and, thus, bring to academe few skills in research design and methodology. A national study was conducted to assess the research skills and the research milieu of allied health faculty across eleven disciplines. Data are presented from 2,187 survey responses. Unmet needs included skills in obtaining funding, statistical analysis of the data, and publishing research results. Major barriers to research included the undervaluing of research relative to education and service, the lack of financial and administrative support, the absence of professional resources, and the generally low priority given research. Faculty with earned doctorates perceived their research environments more favorably and had fewer gaps in research skills than did faculty with a bachelor's or master's degree.
