University-based researchers need new sets of skills to collaborate meaningfully with non-academic research partners and to obtain funding that requires community and end-user partnerships. This paper describes the design, implementation and findings of a needs assessment survey used to inform a participatory research faculty development workshop at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The design process of the faculty development workshop and the impact of the workshop on faculty capacity are discussed.
