For years, I've been computing the number of proposals submitted per faculty
member (i.e., dividing the number of proposals submitted in a given year by
FTE) in each of our three colleges and including these data in my annual
report.  Makes a very graphic representation of comparative grant activity, I
think.  The differences are startling.  My university is college-oriented, so
those are the units I compare.  One could easily use the same method to compare
departments, divisions, whatever.
