As our department rose out of the pandemic, leaders sought an initiative that would advance the development and wellbeing of all faculty whether they be clinicians, researchers, educators, or a mixture with an emphasis on non-research faculty. A two-day retreat revealed that the common wind in the sails of faculty members was curiosity. In response, our leadership team developed Inquiry over the past two years, a program that turns faculty and staff members' curiosity into deliberate and structured projects that can make a difference through sharing at the local, regional, national, and international levels. Our tag line: “Turning curiosity about what matters to us into inquiry that makes a difference to us.” Development of the Inquiry initiative has included creation of our Inquiry Portal, a centralized online location where requesters can share what they are curious about and ask for support in developing scholarship around their questions. To further this work, we have curated a team of part-time professionals including a research services specialist, a technical writer, a statistical data analyst, and two evaluation designers. Whereas the Inquiry Portal primarily accommodates requests narrow in scope (e.g., creation of a survey or manuscript assistance), the Pilot and Exploratory Program is staffed and funded to assist with multiple stages and needs of longer-term pilot or exploratory projects from start to finish which provides a small amount of funding and more research support for non-research faculty to advance their Inquiry projects.
