I have a draft document that splits up our award types into complexity groups from 1 the least complex to 5 most complex. Let me know if you want a copy. I want to add the 1-5 complexity rating to our award database and run reports from time to time on complex awards. It's a very vague measure but it's better than what we have now (nothing).

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?
