Hi,  I am looking for a similar institutions to find a staffing benchmark
for Grant & Contract Services.   If your institution and volume are similar
Im interested in knowing the number and level mix of your staff.  Please
email your response to me at xxxxxx@cshs.org.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a private non profit Health System.  It has
an academic affiliation with UCLA  Medical School.  Research Administration
is centralized in one office.  The Departments do offer the PIs assistance
with proposal preparation, but the turnover is high.  This results in
ongoing training on the part of Grant & Contract Services.

The Grant & Contract Office provides preaward and postaward administration
for an annual $50 M of awards, 353 projects, and 137 PIs.

One half is federal and one quarter corporate, mostly drug studies.  Current
activity equals $60 M of awarded funds and 400 projects.

Current annual submission count is 500 applications.

The staff here is currently : Manager .50% FTE, Sr Grant & Contract Officer
2 FTE, Grant Specialists 2.20 FTE, Clerical Support .25 FTE.  Im trying to
justify one more GCO and one more GS.

Thanks for your responses.
