I too send a congratulatory letter to faculty notifying them of their
awards and I include a paragraph specifically referencing the work and the
contributions they hope to make. Since I am sending a significant number of
these notifications via e-mail (including a pdf attachment with the
internal activation documents, copy of the sponsor award, and budget) I can
easily copy the notification to the Chair and Dean as well as co-pis,
Sponsored Projects Services, and the department accountant. Several chairs
and deans have told me they save these notifications in a separate
directory which is available to them for quick reference of awards received
in the department and/or college.
