We find that one person who handles each project from beginning to end is more efficient, provides better service to the customers (faculty, staff and sponsors) and results in better internal accountability than several people working together who must hand things off from time-to-time. With the exception of invoicing and cash management, we truly have integrated pre and post award in our organizational model.

I am referring to several people (pre and post award) working together to manage a particular award rather than one person handling a given award from beginning to end. Thanks.

Do you mean an administrator handling everything, or administrators and financial analysts on the same team reporting to the same director?

We are exploring the concept of “life-cycle teams” as a means of further integrating our pre- and post-award activities and personnel. We would really appreciate if others who either currently use or formerly used this model would share their views on the pros and cons. Please feel free to email me directly (xxxxxx@pobox.upenn.edu) if you prefer. Thanks very much.
