| Sumario: | Part of a special issue on research capacity and infrastructure development in schools of social work. The writers explore some of the developmental steps in building research supports and infrastructures, drawing on presentations made at meetings of the National Association of Deans and Directors of Schools of Social Work. Research-intensive universities have raised expectations for all academic units, with the expectation now being an increase in research grants and contracts to support knowledge creation and scholarship. Teaching universities also expect faculty to conduct more scholarship and research. These obligations are compelling deans and directors in schools of social work to add new responsibilities in respect of research development and administrative building. The writers outline several features of research infrastructures and administrative supports, ranging from associate dean for research to research administrators.
