This practical guide addresses the challenges of building and maintaining a college research program in an environment that does not focus on supporting research activity and for those with a heavy teaching load. The challenges faced by teacher-researchers and solutions to issues are reviewed. The steps for maximizing research productivity are outlined: time management, obtaining space, equipment, and funding, recruiting and managing subjects, and overcoming bureaucratic stumbling blocks. Chapters feature cases, figures, tables, summaries, suggested readings, and research references which provide a scientific grounding. The book appeals to college teachers of all levels and disciplines.
