Dear Colleagues,

Our organization is in the process of revisiting the structure of our grants administration office. I have a 2-part question:

1)	Could anyone here please point me to any industry best practices and/or resources that outline the ideal structure for a central office that supports the entire grants management cycle (pre-award, award, post-award, close-out). This includes the staff reporting structure, roles and functions, and where they may be placed within the institution. I’m at a nonprofit that manages about $12mm in external funding requests (federal, corporate and foundations) annually and is looking to grow that number.

2)	Does anyone know of a tool that can assess the grants office appropriate staffing needs based on the volume of grant awards, ensuring there are adequate resources for grants development and grants management?

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the archives and haven’t found much on this topic.

Many thanks,
EmyLou
