Faculty at teaching institutions carry high teaching loads, leaving little time to write manuscripts or grant applications, let alone getting them published or awarded. This manuscript describes the impact of protected writing time for faculty at a higher education, teaching institution who committed to focused, uninterrupted writing time on a weekly basis and exchanged writing challenges and tips with colleagues. A mixed methods approach was used to assess the impacts of the writing group which found increased productivity (manuscripts and publications, proposals and grants) and sense of a research community with enhanced structural knowledge, camaraderie, and morale.
教学机构的教员承担着繁重的教学任务，几乎没有时间撰写手稿或申请科研基金，更不用说将其发表或获得资助了。本文描述了在一所高等教育教学机构中，为教员提供受保护的写作时间所产生的影响。这些教员每周都有专门的、不间断的写作时间，并与同事交流写作挑战和技巧。采用了混合方法来评估写作小组的影响，结果发现写作小组提高了生产力（手稿和出版物、提案和科研基金），增强了研究社区的意识，提升了结构知识、同志情谊和士气。
