Welcome to the RADIUS Benchmarking Survey

The RADIUS Benchmarking Survey is an opportunity for higher education and research institutions to gain insight into specific areas where the business performance of the pre-award and post-award research functions of the institution can be improved.

In recent years, university leadership is focusing more on the data that portrays the trends and direction of the research environment. An industry-wide understanding of staffing and process efficiency within research and sponsored programs will better position universities and academic medical centers to consider the best deployment and focus of limited resources, and identify opportunities to improve overall operations.

The General Research Administration survey gathers key data points that develop an institution’s perspective on process opportunities, staffing alignment, transactional load, and the broader research enterprise infrastructure.

Any institution engaged in sponsored project research should complete the Research Administration Survey.  To begin:

  • If you have an Institutional Code and are ready to take the survey, please begin by utilizing the survey suite links below. (Your Institutional Code should also be used as your password.)
  • If you would like to participate in the survey, but do not yet have an Institutional Code, please email us at RADIUS@huronconsultinggroup.com. Before getting started, we invite you to read the Survey Guidelines and review the Participation Agreement.
  • If you would like to print a copy of the survey questions, you can download the RADIUS Benchmarking Survey Questionnaire.
  • Download the RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION STAFFING CALCULATOR (Excel Workbook).  This Excel Workbook is intended to help Research Administration offices complete the organizational FTE and Salary Survey.  You can use this workbook to track your staff and complete the questions, or you can use another internal process.  Use of this worksheet is not required and you do not need to submit the completed workbook as part of the survey, it is for your institution's internal use only.
  • Download our data gathering Excel Workbook for internal use only as you gather your survey responses.  Use of this worksheet is not required and is intended to help institutions collect, organize and review responses prior to entry into the online survey tool.
  • Should you have any questions once you begin the survey, please contact us.

Thank you and we look forward to sharing the results!
