It has been recognized in the allied health professions that allied health disciplines must enhance and increase their research and scholarly activity. If faculty/staff are to be judged in the academic environment in which they work, their efforts to conduct research must be supported. Recognition for academic scholarship measured by the performance of research and scholarly activity is often difficult for faculty/staff to attain because of increased demands for scheduled time devoted to classroom instruction and student advising. This inability for faculty/staff to engage in research and scholarly activity often is enhanced by the lack of proper and adequate facilities and equipment. Also important is the role of graduate education, which itself, provides a stimulus for the performance of research and scholarly activity. This article reports outcomes achieved by an international faculty/staff-student program that provides an opportunity for faculty/staff and students within an allied health discipline to conduct research and scholarly activity. This program could serve as a model to identify the strengths and benefits that can be achieved by such programs. This program is capable of improving the research and scholarly activity of all academic units within an allied health discipline.
在联合健康专业领域，人们已经认识到联合健康学科必须加强并增加其研究和学术活动。如果要在教师/工作人员工作的学术环境中对他们进行评判，就必须支持他们开展研究的努力。由于用于课堂教学和学生指导的预定时间需求增加，教师/工作人员往往难以通过研究和学术活动的表现获得学术奖学金的认可。缺乏适当和充足的设施与设备往往会加剧教师/工作人员无法参与研究和学术活动的情况。研究生教育的作用也很重要，它本身就为研究和学术活动的开展提供了动力。本文报告了一个国际教师/工作人员-学生项目所取得的成果，该项目为联合健康学科内的教师/工作人员和学生提供了开展研究和学术活动的机会。这个项目可以作为一个典范，来识别此类项目能够实现的优势和益处。该项目能够提高联合健康学科内所有学术单位的研究和学术活动水平。
