Good morning, Michelle,

We fall within your guidelines for funding received (~$4M). However, we are a private graduate institution with 2 locations (Missouri and Arizona) and 6 schools. That said, we have the following structure.

Sponsored Programs

Senior Director - 1

Preaward Directors - 2 (1 for each campus)

Preaward Proposal Development Specialists - 4 (2 for each campus)

Quality Assurance Director - 1 (university-wide)

Quality Assurance Associate Director - 1 (university-wide)

Postaward Director - 1 (university-wide)

Postaward Assistant Director - 1 (university-wide)

Grants and Research Administration Director - 1 (university-wide)

Administration Manager - 1 (university-wide)

Postaward Project Managers - 5 (1 permanent positions, 4 grant-funded/dependent)

Advancement is a completely separate department and I'm not sure how they are structured. We do work with them and coordinate our proposals, but they focus only on gifts. I believe there is only one person dedicated to corporate & foundation relations. All foundation work involving grants (and some gifts) falls to sponsored programs. Advancement focuses mainly on alumni and corporate donations.

All of preaward including the quality assurance people and the senior director are also writers. We are heavily involved in all phases of the proposal development including research development. Our institution has made a significant investment in sponsored programs and our department is widely accepted as the go-to source for almost any project involving writing or complex financial issues.

I hope this is helpful to you. I'd be happy to talk more offline if you need more information.

If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.

I am being asked my university leadership to provide an estimate of the staffing needs of mine and other tangential departments. Part of that request means polling other institutions which is where you lovely folks come in! Barry University has a 5 year average of $4 million dollars in sponsored program funding awarded (excluding CARES Act $) and we are trying to expand our staff and increase our grant and advancement programs. If you belong to an institution averaging $0 to 15 million in annual awards, I would appreciate you sharing the following information:
