Hi Charlie. Sure. I'm thinking about situations such as the department chair who has always prized teaching to the exclusion of grantseeking - until a faculty member wins a grant that leads to a national magazine feature on undergraduate research and a marked uptick in enrollment. Or the grants office that fights annually to justify itself and its personnel - until contributing to a major win (or maybe launching a successful faculty motivation initiative) that has such positive results that campus leaders redouble their support for research and sponsored programs administration.

The idea is to gather specific examples that go beyond the data that would appear in an annual report; that is, the surprises and the outliers. By collecting anecdotes like these from every region and institution type, I'm hoping we can show (precisely to whom remains to be seen!) that the everyday work of research administrators produces a great volume of these unexpectedly high-impact outcomes.

Thanks for following up, Charlie.
