Early Outcomes from a Pediatric Education Research Unit

Academic faculty with careers focused on education have traditionally struggled with generating publications, acquiring funding, and thus subsequently achieving the necessary criteria for promotion. 1-3 This may be due to a lack of training in educational research methodology and academic writing in the setting of restricted infrastructure and limited protected time to support scholarly efforts.
