Faculty support improving the management of grant pre- and post-award processes at UCSF
1
Move forward with two complementary models
•
Faculty experience a wide variation in service quality and costs
•
Implement Operational Excellence clusters as proposed
•
Improve service and reduce costs to meet or exceed standards currently set by high-performing units
•
Delegate signature authority to current high-performing units
2
Faculty support substantially shrinking Contracts and Grants by moving signature authority closer to grant preparation
2
Improve the evaluation structure
•
Improve training
•
Throughout the implementation process, compare and evaluate the two models
•
Streamline operations
•
Evaluation should include assessment of the effects on the post-award process
•
Reduce costs
•
Extend the first evaluation phase to allow sufficient time for refining procedures and practices in both models.
3
Remain open to possibility using both models concurrently as a long term solution
