  7. UCSF pre-Award Priorities FY12-13 cont’d • Contracts and Grants Process Refinements • Clear award set up back log by June 2013 • Develop and deploy SLAs • Strengthen communications with PIs and departments

  8. “How’s my driving” survey results to date • Request for feedback embedded in email from RSC • Implemented across all teams in December 2012 • Total Number of responses through February = 135

  9. Overall Respondents = 135 Data collected from December 2012 through February 2013

  10. Overall Satisfaction Based on 135 responses between December 2012 and February 2013

  11. Evaluation Plans • Claire Brindis has been engaged to conduct program evaluations for both pre-Award and HR. • Evaluation will include repeat of baseline questions in July to align with the need for data for the STAR program • Additional activities will include face to face interviews as well as feedback from faculty meetings • The goal is to generate ongoing feedback that will inform services and service levels

  12. Charging Model Status • OSR Budget approved by Advisory Board in January, 2013. The FY 14 budget reflects a 4.7% increase over the FY 13 budget, mainly due to projected salary and benefit increases. • Meeting with Deans scheduled for March 21, 2013 to discuss how to allocate the costs across control points. • Workload: The FY 12-13 budget was based on a volume of 5,600 proposals and an average workload of 83 proposals/RSC. The actual proposal volume for the period of 7/1/12 to 12/31/12 was 3,013. Assuming that level of activity holds for the remainder of the fiscal year, proposal volume would be at 6,026. The actual volume was handled by fewer RSC’s due to periodic vacancies during the year, stressing the organization. If the actual level of activity truly is at 6,000+ proposals, we will need 5 additional staff to handle the workload. • FY 13 Budget: The reduced payroll costs due to vacancies are resulting in a projected surplus of $580K for FY 12-13. This surplus will be carried forward to FY 13-14 to reduce the Control Point contribution. • FY 14 Budget: For the FY 14 budget, we are holding the staffing level steady, with the understanding that additional RSCs will be hired if the volume of proposals justifies it. Any resulting deficit will be carried forward to the next budget year and covered by that year’s control point contribution.
