Research should have a prominent place in dental education. The expectation that all dental faculty will engage in research to some extent is consistent with the objectives of predoctoral dental education. In setting this expectation for faculty members, schools must recognize the limitations of the dental faculties' formal education in research and provide for growth through faculty development programs. A clear statement of expectations can facilitate this process. Schools of dentistry can promote research by giving high priority to teacher training, setting priorities for allocation of research development resources, and providing for the interaction of faculty within and outside the school.
