Nancy,
I informally surveyed members of this list and grants persons attending an
American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) annual
meeting in Washington, DC, a couple years ago.  The overwhelming response
was that a grants office belonged on the academic side of the institution
where the office would garner faculty respect and cooperation and could
focus on serving faculty first (instead of just generating dollars).
