BACKGROUND: The impact of residency research programs on resident research activity, faculty involvement, and institutional cost has not been well described. DESCRIPTION: A strategy to increase resident research activity was implemented in a community-based internal medicine residency program. Strategy components included a resident research director, a research elective, cost reimbursement, and a research requirement. Associated outcomes of research activity, faculty involvement, and institutional cost are described. EVALUATION: The annual number of research submissions increased from 0 to 39 over 6 years. The greatest increase in number of research submissions was seen following the dual implementation of the cost reimbursement and research requirement interventions. The annual number of faculty coauthors rose from 0 to 24 in 6 years. Average cost per accepted project was US 1,023.00 dollars. CONCLUSION: The strategy described was associated with a marked increase in resident research activity and faculty involvement. The cost of supporting resident research activity is significant.
