Abstract

The HUI Scholars Program at Hawai‘i Pacific University was established to address challenges in conducting research at teaching-intensive colleges. The HUI Scholars Program complemented the Hawai‘i Pacific University’s Undergraduate Infrastructure Student Research Center (HUI SRC) by encouraging faculty to engage in mentorship training. The program focuses on scientific writing, grantsmanship, and career progression, benefiting faculty and students. Faculty surveys were conducted at three-time points to evaluate one aspect of the program (writing retreats). Evaluation findings showed increased confidence in research skills, improved publication and grant-writing abilities, and reduced writing anxiety among 15 faculty participants. This article underscores the importance of mentorship training that is aligned with faculty research
