Greetings

Like all of you, our lives have become much more complex over the past
few years, a trend that I do not see easing up.

Looking back even five years, we didn’t have ARRA reporting, FFATA
reporting, increased FCOI requirements, RCR was a smaller issue, and g.g
was just cranking up, etc, etc., etc.

I even remember when summer was catch-up time!

However, when measuring what we do, we still rely heavily on how many
proposals we process and how many awards we receive as the primary means
of determining effectiveness and efficiency despite the fact that these
measures do not capture life as we know it today.

So…….does anyone out in grantland have any insight or perspective on
how to convey that by way of performance metrics?

Larry
