    AbstractAs colleges of allied health become a more integral part of the academic community, faculty will increasingly be expected to contribute to the research mission of their respective institutions. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics associated with research productivity of allied health faculty. A survey was mailed to 1444 full-time faculty members in 50 academic health centers nationwide, representing 10 of the most prevalent allied health fields. Research productivity was defined as the total number of publications produced by a faculty member over his/her academic career. Data from 579 respondents (40%) were analyzed. Results of the regression analysis showed that 44% of the variance in total publications was explained by an earned doctorate, hours spent in research, and salary. As a group, the study results showed that allied health faculty were not prolific researchers and did not publish extensively. Although faculty distributed their time among teaching, research, service, consulting, and practice, the greater percentage of faculty time was spent in teaching and service.
