In this article we describe the experiences of Black women academics who participated in one or more of the following programs geared towards supporting the research and professional development of faculty: (a) the Sisters of the Academy's (SOTA) Research Boot Camp; (b) the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity's Faculty Success Program (FSP); and (c) the New Connections--Increasing Diversity of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Program. A purposeful sample of participants revealed how they learned about the programs, the benefits of the initiatives, as well as ways in which the programs influenced their research and productivity as faculty members. The participants' narratives reflect the influences that SOTA, the FSP, and New Connections had on professional development and productivity.
