Background: Research-focused faculty face barriers to research engagement and success. Definitions of research success vary among organizations, research teams, and individuals. An institution must identify barriers before implementing mitigation strategies.
Purpose: To define research success, identify current barriers, and strategies to mitigate those barriers to increase research-focused faculty's research success.
Methods: A qualitative research design incorporating focus groups and aspects of a modified Delphi approach was implemented at a research retreat with 22 attendees. Data were analyzed by content analysis.
Findings: Measures of research success included dissemination, planning/organization, time, wellness, collaboration, mentoring, funding, impact and translation, and recognition. Top barriers were competing demands, time, team disputes, interpersonal relations, workload, resources, expectation differences, and funding success. Attendees identified these barriers as the focus for mitigation strategies.
Discussion: Opportunities for collegial discussion, peer feedback, and dedicated meetings to discuss research ideas can help research-focused faculty increase their research success and productivity.

Age-related sensory declines are unavoidable and closely linked to decreased visual, auditory, and cognitive functions. However, the interrelations of these declines remain poorly understood. Despite extensive studies in each domain, shared age-related characteristics are complex and may not consistently manifest direct relationships at the individual level.

The study highlights the need for quality control in evaluating medicinal plant products, especially CBD oils, before market release. Due to varying regulatory requirements, product labeling can sometimes be misleading, especially regarding cannabinoid concentrations such as CBD and THC. This research focused on developing a validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for accurately identifying and quantifying key cannabinoids in Commercial Veterinary CBD Oil.

Mushrooms have proven to be a valuable source of diverse bioactive compounds that can hold substantial potential for preventing and managing various diseases. This research focused on examining the numerous bioactive compounds found in () (Cooke & Massee) Priest mushrooms, particularly those obtained from ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts. Polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids were also evaluated by chemical analysis.

The current research focused on examining the effect of a coating made from Balangu seed mucilage (TSM-BM) and gelatin (Ge), with varying concentrations of dill essential oil (DEO) (0 %, 1 %, and 2 %) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-np) (0 % and 0.5 %), on the quality characteristics of cherries stored at 4 °C over intervals of 0, 4, 7, 11, 18, and 25 days. The study noted that the application of this coating, particularly when combined with DEO and ZnO-np, significantly reduced the rate of changes in several parameters, including weight loss, firmness, titratable acidity, pH, total soluble solids, ascorbic acid, total anthocyanin content, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity (p˂0.
