2 Principles Provide faculty with a pre-award expert, Research Services Coordinator (RSC) Single individual to partner with faculty on an ongoing basis Trained and certified - signature authority Back-up during times of peak workload, absences Minimize PI’s time spent on pre-award administration Move the institutional review/signature authority as close to the PI as possible Continuous monitoring of performance metrics 2 Pre-award Implementation

5 Performance and Metrics Performance plan is robust & multi-pronged Collecting & analyzing qualitative faculty surveys, RSC surveys, MSO interviews Collecting ‘hard metrics’ on workload, customer service level agreements, structure and financial efficiencies Separate but equally robust evaluation plan for the RSC training program Continuous process improvements 5

6 Suggested Programmatic Groupings TeamProgrammatic Grouping Teams A & BSOP, SOM Basic Sciences Mission Bay Team CSON, SOM Population Sciences, and EVCP (except LPPI), University Relations Team DSOD, SOM Basic Sciences Parnassus Teams E & FSOM Department of Medicine and SOM Non-Procedural 3 Teams G & HSOM Peri-Operative Teams I & JSOM Non-Procedural 1 & 2 and LPPI 6 Each team volume is approximately 400 to 600 proposals per year

8 Cost Estimates 8 Total Estimated Pre-award Service Delivery* Shared Service Teams Training Contracts & Grants $12,800,000 Subtract estimated portion from EVCP$ 2,300,000* Total Estimated Costs Allocated to Schools/Departments $10,500,000** *Current Expenditures for EVCP = $2,700,00 **Current Expenditures, as self reported by Departments, = $12,041,000

9 Funding Options Recharge 1. By Proposal Disincentive to submit? Variable cost vs. complexity of proposal? Administratively burdensome 2. By Research Faculty Significant challenges in counting PIs Differentiate faculty/non-faculty? Administratively burdensome Indirect Cost Recovery 1. Use indirect cost recovery $ that go to the Schools to pay for pre-award services Reduced ICR $ to departments Eliminates recharges 9
10
10 Next Steps Hire Pre-award Cluster Director Interview and hire Phase I Team Hire and train ‘floater’ RSCs Continue to develop training program Finalize pricing and funds flow Conduct Faculty satisfaction survey Work closely with Phase I departments to ensure smooth transition Identify departments for subsequent phases 10
