Summary:The Federal Demonstration Project (FDP) was established in 1988 to analyze the research administration system and recommend pilots to streamline and improve the management of research projects at 3 levels - federal, state, and institutional. A recent survey reveals that there is much room for improvement in how state governments administer sponsored research in colleges and universities. It is time to look at research administration systems comprehensively - to target those requirements that are necessary, those that should be modified, and those that should be eliminated. Administrative flexibility is of greater strategic benefit to the state than achieving maximum reduction of risk through airtight administrative requirements.
