This research highlights the imperative nature of designing programs to address the full range of faculty development needs. It presents a framework for essential faculty development programs for teaching and learning centers in research‐extensive universities for introducing, enhancing, and improving faculty development offerings. The nationwide Delphi study of faculty development programs identified eighteen currently essential and twenty‐eight future essential faculty development programs for teaching and learning centers in research‐extensive universities. This list of programs may serve as a baseline for evaluating existing faculty development programming and guiding the expansion of established programs and the planning of new ones.
