The purpose of this Delphi study was to gather expert opinions and recommendations for change in the research administration system to bring about growth and collaboration. This study was deemed important because at the heart of every system is the fact that individuals need each other to continue to exist. The results of the Delphi study give recommendations from the research faculty perspective for the improvement in the system of research administration and faculty relationships. Administrators and research faculty should view each other as team members whose objectives are to discover and understand how to achieve common goals. The recommendations suggested that change was needed by both faculty and research administrators to become a more unified, living system. (Contains 1 table.)
