In response to inquiries about this data: Preliminary Summary level data are available at www.higheredbenchmarking.com. These data are in the "Research Management Study Area" in the website. The data cover some of the key variables we looked it including: 1. Pre Award Staffing, Workload indicators, Proposal Costs, Service Ratios 2. Post Award Staffing, Workload, Award Admin Costs, Service Ratios, Accounts Receivable Ratios 3. Faculty Proposal Development and Participation, Award $ generation, "Success" rates 4. Organizational Structure and reporting lines More complete data summaries are being developed and will be made available later this spring. FY 2002 survey data will be collected this Fall. If you don't see something that you are looking for, let me know because we may have it and just not summarized it yet. -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org]On Behalf Of Cosgrove John Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 9:10 AM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] what is reasonable research office funding as a percent of grants?

I have just been appointed to the research and development committee at my VA medical center. We have about 3 million dollars a year in outside funding that goes through our VA, and another 2-3 million that goes through a nearby medical school (for which we get no indirect costs). Our research office (which handles IRB and accounting) has an annual budget of 300,000 and claims that they are seriously underfunded. Does any one have a rule of thumb as to what is reasonable for funding of research office support, as a percentage of grants received? -- Thomas W.
