Lawrence,

What about NCURA?

The NCURA Peer Review Program is a powerful tool for enhancing your
sponsored programs operations. This review is available to all NCURA
members. The completely confidential peer review is conducted by a team of
nationally recognized research administrators who thoroughly review the
sponsored programs area. The review utilizes National Standards that
represent the core and vital functions of sponsored programs-regardless of
size and type of institution.

At the completion of the evaluation, the institution receives a detailed
confidential report that provides valuable feedback addressing program
strengths and areas for improvement. This feedback assists the sponsored
programs office in providing quality services, minimizing risk, and
promoting a positive culture for research administration.

Support your commitment to providing a high quality sponsored programs
operation by having an NCURA Peer Review.

For questions or further information on the NCURA Peer Review Program,
contact Peggy Lowry at (503) 364-1847 or xxxxxx@ncura.edu

Subject: [RESADM-L] Sponsored Programs Office Review

My institution – the University of Southern Maine – is seeking a
consultant to do a review of our Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). The
University is in the midst of a major reorganization and is looking at
what our research mission is/should be, how we should be structured,
what services we should provide (centralized vs. decentralized model),
etc.

If any of you have engaged such a consultant, or know of a group that
may be interested in carrying out a review, please let me know.

Many thanks and Happy New Year.

Larry
