Cuyahoga Community College, a multi-campus institution, sought to develop and design a grants planning and management system to coordinate funds of both an internal and external nature earmarked for instructional research, planning, and development. Objectives were to create a system accessible to all professionals on all campuses, to provide a simplified system for funding of educational development activities, and to make provision for a uniform system of management for all grants whether funded externally or internally. District-level personnel, without benefit of individual campus or faculty input, established priorities for a grants system which included centralized control, uniformity of program management, establishment of a proper accounting system, better fiscal control, and articulation of campus components of the system. A grant proposal submission subsystem was established following these criteria. An evaluation of the subsystem was conducted to determine administrative and user response to its provisions through a survey of selected users and support services personnel. Of 95 faculty-administrators and support services personnel surveyed, only 28% responded. Results showed that users were not confident about the system. User input in system revision was recommended.
