We have around 15 faculty interested in R for various reasons: desire to learn to work with undergraduate students, possibility of teaching in courses or for their own professional reasons. These faculty span a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences (biology, chemistry), mathematics and computer science, but also others in political science, psychology, economics, etc... The faculty also have various experience/exposure to R that range from none to having attended a workshop or two. We desire to level the playing field and have all of us capable of speaking about fundamentals in R so that we can then shape further faculty development. I would not say that we need a "R expert" by any means but instead someone with the experience/advice/strategies of how to get up and running and to integrate that learning with undergraduate research and teaching. With some options, we could create a proposal to our administration to sponsor such as workshop that would cover a professional stipend for the instructor as well as travel and other expenses.
